Myth-busting AI: Lighting Talks & Debate


Join us for an evening of fast-paced lightning talks and an open panel debate that cuts through the buzzwords and how to move from hype to ROI and gets to the heart of what AI really means for startups, entrepreneurs, and innovators.

What we'll cover:

  • The latest trends in AI and what they mean for your business
  • Practical advice on integrating AI into operations
  • Real-life startup stories where AI is part of the secret sauce
  • Use cases beyond ChatGPT - from logistics to legal
  • Ethical and legal considerations, including data privacy and copyright. Do you remember when ScotRail 'borrowed' someone's voice?!
  • Whether you're building with AI, curious about its potential, or sceptical of the hype — this event is for you.


Come with your questions, ideas, and curiosity.  Life before AI was already ‘AI’ - we just didn’t call it that.

Don't miss out on networking with like-minded individuals who are passionate about technology and entrepreneurship in Glasgow. Limited spaces are available, so be sure to RSVP today and secure your spot!

4. Continued networking, there's no Startup Grind event where you don't leave with new friends and exciting connections.

That’s how CMS equIP was born.
