AI at Work in Regional Business: From Awareness to Action

AI is moving quickly from curiosity to capability.

For regional businesses, the challenge is no longer simply understanding what AI is. It is knowing where it can create value, how to use it responsibly, and what to do next.

On Wednesday 12 August, BRAIN and Plainlight will present AI at Work in Regional Business: From Awareness to Action as part of Commerce Ballarat’s B31 August Business Festival.

The 90-minute session is designed for business owners and leaders who want a practical view of AI without the hype.

We’ll explore:

• where AI can improve everyday business workflows;
• how to choose the right tools;
• responsible and risk-aware use;
• how to think about ROI; and
• practical next steps for your organisation.

For BRAIN, this is part of a broader goal: helping regional organisations build the confidence, capability and governance needed to adopt AI well.

Wednesday 12 August 2026
9:00am–10:30am
Commerce Ballarat, 119 Lydiard Street North
