AI Masterclass for Small Business Owners & Teams in Glasgow

Practical AI training for real business impact

Join us in Glasgow for an engaging and highly practical AI training workshop designed specifically for small business owners, marketers, managers and teams looking to better understand the opportunities, risks and real-world applications of Artificial Intelligence.

This isn’t about hype, buzzwords or complicated tech jargon. It’s about helping you understand how AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Canva and other leading AI tools can genuinely improve productivity, save time, support marketing activity, streamline admin tasks, and automate repetitive processes, helping your business stay competitive in a rapidly changing digital landscape.

Delivered by the ever-enthusiastic Gary Ennis, Chartered Marketer, qualified trainer and founder of NSDesign, who has spent more than 25 years helping businesses get to grips with changing digital technology. The masterclass combines practical demonstrations, better prompting techniques, strategic insights, ethical considerations and hands-on ideas that businesses can immediately take away and apply. We’ll also explore the important topics many organisations are struggling with right now, including AI risks, governance, privacy, policy, human oversight and responsible adoption.

Whether you’re completely new to AI, already using tools like ChatGPT regularly, or simply looking for clearer direction, this masterclass is designed to help you move from curiosity to confidence. An inspirational deep dive into the current AI landscape, from smarter prompting and everyday productivity through to the emerging world of AI agents and automation, sharing the art of the possible!

“I attended Gary’s Master Class in AI on Friday of last week, and it was a great day! I’ve learned so much and more than I could possibly imagine. In fact, I’m already implementing some of the suggestions, so you can really go on this course and start using it the next day. Fabulous, really, can’t fault it!”
