SUMMARY:What AI says about your brand - and why it matters
DESCRIPTION:As more buyers turn to AI models like ChatGPT\, Claude and Gemini to research vendors\, the way brands earn visibility is changing fast. Traditional search is being replaced by single\, AI-generated answers. And in that shift\, PR and earned media have become core drivers of visibility and growth. In this session\, we’ll explore what this shift means for your brand: What LLMs actually say about your brand (and your competitors)\, How AI models choose who to recommend – and why media mentions matter\, Why PR is now central to brand visibility in AI search\, What ‘good signals’ look like in a world of LLMs and auto-generated shortlists\, How to operationalise comms (PR-ops) to influence the right outcomes. We’ll also share new data from over 100\,000 buyer-intent AI prompts – including which sources influence AI responses the most. If you’re a comms leader or a founder and want to understand your brand’s place in an AI-driven buying journey\, this session is for you. \n\nOriginal event page: https://www.pro-manchester.co.uk/event/what-ai-says-about-your-brand-and-why-it-matters/

SUMMARY:Build an AI Workflow That Saves You Time as a Founder
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to use multiple AI tools together to produce business materials faster\, from research and proposals to media and product conceptAs a founder\, you probably do not need another introduction to AI. You need a dependable way to use it inside the work you already do. This session is built around a simple question: how do you move from an early idea to pitch-ready materials without losing days to fragmented tools and half-finished outputs? Over the workshop\, we will take a shared business challenge and work through an end-to-end workflow that founders can reuse. You will see how to move from idea framing to research\, then into structured writing\, then into pitch content\, then into supporting assets. The goal is not to “learn tools” in isolation\, but to understand how outputs from one stage can become inputs for the next. You will leave with a clearer process for turning thinking into materials you can use: proposal language\, positioning\, pitch structure\, and content building blocks you can adapt to your business.This session would be led by Simon Benson from Talent for Tech\, a specialist technology consultancy who help to augment your business with their world-class expertise\, helping you to safely navigate the ever-evolving world of technology and deliver your project with confidence. What you will do in the sessionDuring the workshop\, you will work through a guided sequence that covers:Turning a rough idea into a clear problem\, audience\, and outcome statementProducing a first draft of positioning and value proposition languageGenerating a structured outline for a proposal or pitch narrativeTranslating that narrative into a pitch deck structure and slide copyCreating supporting content formats (one-pager\, web copy outline\, short-form content angles)Understanding how to move between tools without breaking the workflowSpotting where AI is useful\, and where founder judgement is still essentialThis is a working session with guided prompts and live build-throughWhat you will leave withA repeatable “idea-to-pitch” workflow you can apply to your own businessA set of structured templates and prompt patterns that support each stageDraft materials created during the session that you can adapt immediatelyClearer confidence in selecting tools for specific tasks.Who should attendThis session is designed for people who are actively building and need materials that help them sell\, fund\, partner\, or hire:Bring a business challenge (e.g. “We struggle to explain X / get people to care about Y”).Experience a curated set of examples across different settings and sectors.Map what could work for your organisation (with guided prompts and discussion).Identify what’s realistic now vs later.If selected for the next step: your brief can be taken to a team of artists to create a rapid demo concept.What you’ll leave withBy the end\, you’ll have:Founders\, co-founders and business ownersProduct-led service businesses and digital product teamsEarly-stage to scaling businesses based in Greater ManchesterPeople with decision-making authority inside their organisationThis is a guided workshop for Greater Manchester founders to turn ideas into pitch-ready materials using a connected AI tool workflow  funded by MediaCity Immersive Technologies Innovation Hub. Register NowIf this sounds familiar:You’ve tested ChatGPT and other AI tools\, but they’re not part of your daily workflowYou’re still starting from scratch on proposals\, content\, and planning docsYou know AI could save time\, you just haven’t made it practical yet…then this session is built for you.

SUMMARY:Building with Generative AI: The Tricks and Tips You Need to Avoid Pitfalls
DESCRIPTION:**Title of talk:** Building with Generative AI: The Tricks and Tips You Need to Avoid Common Pitfalls\, by Ian Massingham\n\n**Abstract:**\nIn this talk\, you will learn about some of the common challenges that you might encounter while developing meaningful applications with generative AI models. Using non-deterministic systems as the basis for important applications is certainly an ‘interesting’ new frontier for software development\, but hope is not lost. In this session\, we will explore some of the well known (and less well known) issues in building applications on the APIs provided by Generative AI providers\, and on ‘open’ models\, such as Mistral\, Llama\, or DeepSeek. We will also (of course) dive into some of the approaches that you can take to address these challenges\, including agent/MCP integration and graph-based memory\, mitigating some of the inherent behaviors within Generative AI models\, and enabling you to build more reliable and robust systems on top of Generative models\, unlocking the potential of this new development paradigm.\n\n**Professional Bio:**\n\nIan Massingham is a seasoned technology executive with extensive experience in cloud computing\, data technology\, startups\, and developer relations. He is currently with Griptape\, an early stage startup focusing on agentic AI and LLM application development. Prior to 2021\, Ian spent nearly eight years at AWS\, joining the company in December 2013\, before AWS had gained significant enterprise adoption in Europe. During his tenure at AWS\, Ian held various roles in Developer Relations and Evangelism\, starting in this function and moving into a worldwide leadership position as Global Director\, Worldwide Solutions Architecture for Startups.

SUMMARY:Rise and Design - Growing a Creative Business
DESCRIPTION:Growth is key driver for businesses and the regional and national economy. \n\n\n\nAnd since creative businesses delivered over £123 billion in GVA last year\, they are a force to be reckoned with.\n\n\n\nBut 95% of creative businesses have less than 10 employees\, so devoting time to driving that growth\, whilst focussing on clients and staying creative\, isn’t always easy. \n\n\n\nAnd growth can take many forms; not everyone wants to create an empire. \n\n\n\nSo we’ll be exploring these issues and more \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll be joined by Creative UK\, who’s mission is to\, ‘place creativity at the heart of the UK’s culture\, economy and education system.’ \n\n\n\nWe’ll also be hearing from creative businesses who’ve grown without losing their soul… or their sanity \n\n\n\nSpeakers include……\n\n\n\nMalcolm King\, Investment Manager\, Creative UK\n\n\n\nCreative UK firmly believe in the power of the creative industries to change lives\, and their mission is to champion\, connect\, support and invest in creative people and businesses. \n\n\n\nThey’re well-versed in what creative businesses need to thrive and know how to make it happen\, providing expert resources and financial opportunities that are tailor made for the Creative Industries\, offering bespoke investments\, access to funding\, loans\, and growth mentoring. \n\n\n\nMalcolm will tell us more about what they can offer\, and the things you need to think about when growing your business. \n\n\n\nSteve Mayes\, Brick This.\n\n\n\nEveryone loves Lego but Steve REALLY loves it\,.. or more importantly the things you can create with it. What started as a hobby ten years ago is now a fully fledged business\, creating commisions for the Freeman Hospital\, The Centre for LIfe\, and Newcastle United Football Club to name but a few. \n\n\n\nSteve has also benefitted from support from Creative UK which has enabled him to expand his studio into a public-facing space where he can hold events and workshops\, and will tell us more about his journey of turing his creative passion into a successful business\, and what is coming next. He’s bringing Lego too ! \n\n\n\nRise and Design lasts for approximately three hours\, and includes networking before and after speakers. There is a chance to pitch at the end of the speakers’ presentations\, and you can book a stand for the whole event. We encourage all delegates to stay after presentations for networking – it is one of the most valuable parts of Rise and Design.
