Switched On AI, Business & What’s Coming Next

Thursday 27 August 2026

Artificial intelligence is no longer coming. It is already here, already reshaping how Australian businesses operate, how teams work and how leaders make decisions. The question is no longer whether AI will affect your business. It is whether you are ready.

This breakfast is designed to cut through the noise and give Southern Gold Coast business owners a clear, practical and genuinely useful picture of what AI means for them right now and what smart businesses are doing about it.

The Southern Gold Coast Chamber of Commerce is proud to bring together two of Australia’s most compelling voices on AI and business for a morning that will challenge how you think, sharpen how you lead and leave you with actions you can take immediately.

What You Will Walk Away With
A clear understanding of where AI is headed and what it means for your industry, practical insights on how to start automating the right things in the right order, a strategic framework for future-proofing your business and your team, and the confidence to make informed decisions about AI without the overwhelm.
