Join One2Call and former Microsoft trainer Edd Dale on Thursday 26 November for a free AI morning at our Sheffield HQ. You'll leave with practical tools to get started safely, and we'll stay with you after the event, with a guided 30-day Copilot trial (conditions apply) and support to plan what comes next.
One2Call is inviting Sheffield business leaders to a free, in-person AI morning at its Sheffield headquarters close to Meadowhall Shopping Centre on Thursday 26 November, from 9:00 to 12:00. Led by independent Microsoft AI specialist Edd Dale, the session will help businesses move from ad hoc AI use to a safe, deliberate approach, and give them practical tools to take their first steps.
Full event details and booking
Most business leaders are unaware of the extent of AI use in their business. Often it's through personal accounts nobody can see, and reports suggest 77% of staff who use AI paste company data into it.
The morning will show how AI can be both safe and transformative for your business, with practical next steps to take away with you.
"We're hearing the same thing from businesses across Sheffield: their people are already using AI, and leaders aren't sure what's safe," said Alex Hodgson, Marketing Manager at One2Call. "This morning is about turning that into a deliberate first step, with tools people can act on straight away, and our support once they're back at their desks."
The guest expert is Edd Dale, an independent Microsoft product and training specialist. Edd spent nearly eight years on the inside at Microsoft as a trainer and Learning and Development Consultant, before setting up Illuminate Learning to bring Microsoft know-how to everyone else.
Edd will cover:
Then it's over to the room. There's a dedicated Q&A session, so bring the questions you've been wondering about, however basic or specific. If you're thinking it, someone else in the room probably is too.
Because some conversations are better face to face. You'll get proper answers to your own questions, see AI working live rather than on a slide, and swap notes with other local business owners, over a brew and a breakfast buttie. It's the kind of conversation that's hard to have on a webinar with your camera off.
We don't want anyone leaving with a head full of ideas and nowhere to put them. On the day, attendees can sign up for two practical next steps, both of which come with our support afterwards.
The AI Readiness Starter Pack (worth over £5,000), free to the first 10 businesses to sign up on the day. It shows you what AI is already in your business, what it can reach and what to fix first. You get:
A guided 30-day Microsoft 365 Copilot Business trial, the full version, not the free one you might have tried already (eligibility rules apply). Licences on their own rarely get used, so we'll build a Copilot Success Plan with you on a kick-off call, you'll follow it week by week, and we'll catch up at the end to plan what comes next.
Think of it like learning to drive: you wouldn't hand someone the keys without a few lessons and the rules of the road.
You don't need to be technical. You just need to be curious.
