Paradigm:
Applied AI for Business Owners
There is no shortage of AI advice.
There is a shortage of proof.
Paradigm brings together business operators who show what they’ve actually built, and you decide what they talk about.
Monday 13 July | 6:00pm to 8:00pm AEST | Online | Free
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT
This is not another business event you passively sit through.
Paradigm combines audience participation, practical insights, and networking into a single experience.
Five business operators share what they have implemented in their own business or a clients business. What it cost, what changed, and what’s worth doing first. No theory, no pitches, no fluff or hype.
It’s for business owners who are past the “AI is coming” conversation and want real examples and a clearer sense of where AI might actually fit in their business.
This event is for you if you’re asking yourself these questions:
What is actually useful for my business right now?
What should I pay attention to?
What can I safely ignore?
Where do I start without wasting time?
HOW THE NIGHT WORKS
What happens in this room is shaped by the people in it.
Every part of the event is designed so you leave with practical takeaways and genuine connections.
BEFORE
Each speaker submits three possible topics.
You rank them.
The topics the room most wants to hear make the stage.
ON THE NIGHT
Five operators, seven minutes each. After every talk, the room votes.
The three speakers the room trusts most move into a panel driven by your questions.
Then the room opens up for small-group networking, so you meet peers facing the same challenges and talk directly with the speakers.
AFTER
You receive:
the full recording
the Audience Intelligence Report on what the room valued most
an invitation to the audience-chosen follow-up webinar.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
Leave with more than you came with.
Full event recording. Attend live or watch on demand.
Audience Intelligence Report - which topics resonated most, which questions drove the most engagement, how the room scored each talk.
Invitation to a free 60-minute follow-up webinar, delivered by the speaker who earns the highest trust score from the room.
Access to small-group networking with peers and speakers on the night.
WHO IS IT FOR
Service-based business owners who are past the theory on AI and want to see what other operators are actually doing with it.
What worked, what did not, and what it is worth setting up first. Every topic is built around how you run your business right now.

WHAT IS PARADIGM
Applied AI for Business Owners is the first Paradigm pilot. But Paradigm is bigger than AI, and bigger than any single event.
Paradigm is a structured way to help organisations understand what matters most to the people they serve, so they can make better decisions about where to focus time, resources and effort.
AI is simply where we are starting.
If you lead a membership, a community, an association or an organisation, and you want to understand your audience more deeply, I would love to start a conversation.
FAQ’S
The things people actually ask.
-
Register anyway. Every registrant, whether they attend live or not, receives the full recording, the Audience Intelligence Report, and access to the post-event webinar. No cost. No catch.
-
No. Speakers are not permitted to pitch products or services during their talk. Every speaker earned their spot through an audience vote on a specific, real-world AI result. If it starts sounding like a sales pitch, the room will vote accordingly.
-
They applied. Every registered attendee then votes on which topics are most relevant to how they run their business. The five most voted topics take the stage. The organiser does not decide who speaks.
-
A device and an internet connection. The event is fully online. You will receive a confirmation and calendar link after you register.
-
After the event, every registrant receives a report summarising what the room voted for, which topics resonated most, which questions generated the most engagement, and how the audience scored each talk. It's a live picture of what business owners in your sector are finding useful right now.
-
The speaker who earns the highest trust score from the room, through the voting across the panel, delivers a free 60-minute webinar in the weeks following the event. All registrants are automatically invited.
-
Yes. Paradigm is designed to run as a series, across different themes and industries. If you have an AI use case worth sharing and this event isn't the right fit, get in touch and we will let you know when the next relevant event opens for EOI.
