AI Rooms

A guided conversation between ten leaders from the same industry, sharing what is really happening with AI inside their businesses. Practical, honest and built to leave you with something to try on Monday.

  1. 10 seats: approved one by one
  2. One industry: peers who face your problems
  3. Guided: a host keeps it practical
  4. Online: 3:30 to 4:30pm AEDT

Hosted by Hourglass AI, the team building AI systems for Main Sequence and Cadence Property Group.

What we cover

Every room follows the same four questions. Each person shares what is happening inside their business, so you leave with ideas you can act on.

  1. What you are using

    The AI tools and systems each business runs today, and who on the team actually uses them.

  2. What has worked

    The wins worth copying: time saved, costs cut, work that now runs itself.

  3. What has not worked

    The trials that flopped, the tools that got cancelled, and why.

  4. How you rolled it out

    Real implementations: where you started, what it cost, and how you got the team on board.

16 rooms, one industry each. Choose yours to see what it covers and register.
