Join us for an energising face-to-face session with Chris O’Neill, AI and Fintech Lead at Creative HQ, as he explores how founders can harness the power of AI to accelerate their startup journey. From sharpening customer discovery to rapidly testing ideas, AI is transforming how startups move from concept to reality. This event is designed for founders who want to move faster, smarter, and with greater confidence.

Chris will walk you through practical ways AI can help you go from initial insights to working prototypes — without needing a big budget or technical team. You’ll get an inside look at how to leverage AI for market validation, prototype building, and even “vibe coding” — quickly creating functional solutions that help test and communicate your idea. Along the way, Chris will share examples, tools, and simple workflows you can start using right away.

You’ll leave this session with practical approaches and AI-powered tools to help bring your startup idea to life. Whether you’re at the sketch-on-a-napkin stage or already shaping your MVP, this event will equip you with the know-how to work faster and smarter. Come ready to learn, connect, and walk away with new ways to give your startup a competitive edge.
