AI Skills Accelerator Training
A full-day, immersive programme featuring two distinct tracks, delivered in partnership with leading experts in business and applied AI.
Choose the experience that fits your role:
1. A hands-on technical workshop led by General Purpose, focused on building AI agents
2. A leadership-focused programme led by London Business School’s Data Science & AI Initiative
Each track is delivered independently, with its own format, faculty and training objectives. For both, you can expect case studies, seminars and hands-on learning.
The training will take place on 9 June at Studio Spaces, London (opposite Tobacco Dock - the event venue).

Our largest‑ever 2026 show floor and Start‑up Village bring 100+ AI providers together so you can quickly discover, compare and choose your next partners.
See live demos, meet the builders and leave with a shortlist you can act on.
