AI is not a "Western Technology" or something just happening in "Silicon Valley". It is already changing how businesses operate across the world, from customer support chatbots and automated workflows to AI agents capable of handling tasks, research, operations, marketing, and decision-making.
Whether directly or through the trickle-down effect, AI will impact every industry, every business, and every entrepreneur. There is no exception here in South Africa or Africa.
AI After Hours is designed as a highly practical, small-group experience for entrepreneurs, founders, creatives, operators, and curious builders who want to understand how AI is actually being used today and how they can apply it within their own businesses and ideas.
Unlike large networking events, these sessions are intentionally kept small (5–6 people per group) to create meaningful discussions, deeper learning, collaboration, and hands-on support. The goal is not just to talk about AI, but to explore tools together, share real use cases, and actively build practical solutions.
We cover:
This is a space to learn, experiment, ask questions, share ideas, and build alongside other entrepreneurs navigating the AI era.
Small groups. Practical conversations. Real applications.
