AI adoption doesn’t need to start with new platforms or perfect data. Across the nonprofit and membership sector, we’re seeing organisations of all sizes prioritise low risk use cases to realise early value from AI.
This session explores practical AI quick wins like content drafting, meeting summaries, research support and first-pass analysis. It shows where these approaches deliver the most value early on, what’s needed to use them responsibly (and what isn’t), and how they set a clear direction for more advanced AI use over time.
You’ll learn from practical examples with sector relevance and leave with clear, practical actions you can take immediately.
