AI, Automation & Agents: A Hands-On Guide to Building Smarter Workflows

⌖ Bristol · Changing Social, St Bartholomew's House

Bristol’s November D365PPUG meetup brings Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Power Platform users together for two expert talks, networking, food and conversation. Taking place on Thursday 12 November 2026 at 18:30 GMT, this free, in-person South West User Group meeting offers a welcoming place to exchange practical knowledge with people working across the Microsoft business applications ecosystem. The event will be held at a new venue, Changing Social in St Bartholomew’s House, Lewins Mead, Bristol, around the corner from Bristol Beacon and the Hippodrome. What to expect The evening combines structured learning with plenty of time to meet other members of the regional community. Its format includes: - Two 45-minute speaker sessions covering Dynamics 365 and Power Platform - Informal networking with fellow users, makers and professionals - Food and refreshments provided during the meetup - An optional social afterwards for anyone who wants to continue the conversation The detailed agenda and speakers are still to be confirmed. Across the wider D365PPUG community, meetings address the full Dynamics 365 and Power Platform landscape, including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI and Power Virtual Agents. Sessions can explore technical areas such as development and solution architecture, alongside business-focused subjects including user adoption, change management and business analysis. The final topics for this Bristol edition will be announced by the organiser. Who should attend? This event is suitable for all experience levels. Whether you are beginning to explore Microsoft Power Platform, already building business applications and automations, administering Dynamics 365, shaping solution architecture or supporting organisational adoption, the group is designed to encourage open knowledge sharing without requiring a particular level of seniority. D365PPUG grew from a Dynamics CRM user group founded in 2011 and has since expanded into a UK-wide community covering both Dynamics 365 and the broader Power Platform. Its regional evening meetings provide a smaller, more conversational alternative to the organisation’s flagship national events, making this a useful opportunity to ask questions, compare approaches and build local professional connections.

Hosted by Digital Pathfinders

Learn how to adopt AI without exposing your organisation to avoidable intellectual property, data or financial risks at this practical Gateshead workshop. Taking place on Wednesday 28 October 2026, from 9:30am to 12:30pm, AI: Myths, Risks & Benefits offers a clear-eyed introduction to the potential downsides of artificial intelligence,and the practical measures small organisations can take to protect themselves. The three-hour, in-person session will be held at the Northern Design Centre in Gateshead, within the wider Newcastle area. What the workshop covers AI can create genuine benefits, but organisations may adopt it without fully understanding what happens to their information, content or budget. Rather than relying on hype or technical jargon, this workshop examines common ways AI use can go wrong and what those mistakes could cost. Topics include: - Intellectual property: how businesses can unintentionally hand over valuable ideas or material through everyday use of free AI tools, including services that train on information submitted by users. - Personal information and data exposure: how sensitive information may be revealed, and what that could mean both for your organisation and for the people whose data you hold. - Cost management: why unchecked AI usage can lead to runaway costs and why organisations need to keep an eye on consumption. - Reducing exposure: practical steps that help teams use AI more sensibly while limiting avoidable risks. The emphasis is on helping attendees understand what to watch for before problems arise. By the end of the session, you should have a more grounded view of AI’s risks and benefits, alongside practical ways to approach adoption with greater care. Who should attend? This workshop is designed specifically for small businesses and charities that want to start using AI,or improve how they already use it,without being caught out by hidden consequences. No prior technical knowledge is required, making it suitable for leaders, staff and decision-makers who need an accessible overview rather than a highly technical session. The event is organised by Digital Pathfinders and takes place at Northern Design Centre, Abbott’s Hill, Gateshead NE8 3DF. Register for AI: Myths, Risks & Benefits

AiX Conference brings AI and product design leaders to Newcastle on 21 April 2027 for a focused day of talks, ideas and networking. Designing with AI starts here This one-day AI × Design conference explores how artificial intelligence is changing the way digital products are designed, built and experienced. Rather than spreading the programme across competing sessions, AiX uses one stage and one track, giving everyone a shared journey through the most important questions facing modern design and product teams. Attendees will hear how practitioners are applying AI in real working environments, discover emerging tools and examine examples of design innovation. The programme centres on two closely connected themes: - Designing AI products: how teams create AI-powered experiences that people can trust and enjoy using - Building with AI: how designers and product teams use AI to move from early ideas towards production more quickly The event is particularly relevant to product designers, design leaders and members of digital product teams who want to understand AI’s practical impact on their craft. It will also appeal to professionals responsible for shaping product experiences, evaluating emerging workflows or helping teams adopt AI thoughtfully. No specific experience level is stated; the emphasis is on industry insight, real-world practice and the changing relationship between AI, design and product development. Speakers announced for 2027 The developing line-up brings together designers and design leaders working across banking, employee benefits, sustainability software and technology products: - Jay Clark, Senior Design Manager at Monzo Bank - Miriam Khenissi, Senior Product Designer at Perkbox - Tom Hiskey, Senior Product Designer at EcoOnline - Stephen Patterson, Principal Product Designer at Deck - Paavan Buddhdev, Product Designer at Granola Further speakers are due to be announced as the 2027 programme is refined. Alongside the talks, the conference offers opportunities to connect with the people exploring and shaping AI-led product design. Its single-track format creates common ground for conversations throughout the day, making it easier to compare approaches, discuss lessons from the stage and build relationships with peers facing similar design challenges.… Register for this event
