AI Peer Network

About the Event

Join the VCSE AI Peer Network, a growing community dedicated to demystifying AI and empowering the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sector with the expertise needed to use AI purposefully and ethically.

Building on the success of previous sessions, our September meeting will spotlight real-world learnings from using Microsoft Copilot. Partner charities including CSE, DH, and Age UK will share their experiences of trialling Copilot, exploring what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how it’s changing day-to-day work.

We’ll also be joined by Dave Preedy, who will bring additional insight into Copilot adoption and what it means for the sector’s future use of AI.

Whether you’re curious about AI, experimenting with tools, or already embedding them in your organisation, this collaborative peer-led space will offer practical guidance and honest reflections from peers on the frontline of AI adoption.
