BIMA Hangout | Wonder-panic to Wonder: Workshop #2

By popular demand, our Wonder-panic to Wonder Workshop is back! Join us to explore how AI is changing creative work and learn how to adapt, grow, and stay ahead.

A collaboration between BIMA’s AI & Creative Councils, our Wonder-panic to Wonder workshops are designed to help us all get a bit more real – to understand the changing creative and tech sector landscape in greater depth. And most importantly, to make clear what you can do to best support your own development.

AI has ushered in a lot of change and we can be certain that more is on the way. Learning, adapting and unlearning is more important than ever, but what is your next step?

During the session, we will explore the impact of AI on creativity, tools and jobs.

You will then have the option to participate in a purposeful workshop – around the same subjects – that invite you to learn from people having demonstrable success with AI, then apply these learnings in your context.

Come prepared to learn and also discuss openly and honestly to share learnings across the group.

Who is this for?

Anyone with an interest in how AI will impact their role, particularly those in a ‘Creative’ role within a business, consultancy, or agency.
