CITL Connect: Co‑creating the future-ready charity
Description
CITL is hosting a new, in‑person AI event designed to help senior leaders and charity professionals navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and harness the potential of AI confidently and responsibly.
This non-technical event will bring together AI experts, members, thought-leaders and specialists from vendors. The day will cut through the overwhelming noise surrounding AI to focus on what truly matters: how charities can build practical capability, organisational readiness, and clear ethical frameworks to thrive in an increasingly AI‑shaped world.
Interactive sessions will give participants space to experiment, reflect, and co‑create practical approaches they can take back to their organisations, alongside real‑life use cases and thought‑provoking debates.
This event is targeted at a leadership level, and designed to be accessible to both a technical and non-technical audience. Members are encouraged to bring a colleague from within their organisational leadership group.
You'll leave the day with plenty of ideas, actionable next steps and confidence to use the potential of AI for the best for your organisation.
