AI Festival 2027 is confirmed for 17–18 February at XR Labs in Bury St Edmunds. The event brings business leaders, technology providers, founders, investors and researchers into the same setting. For a business owner in East Anglia, it offers a regional place to investigate what AI could contribute to everyday work, without starting with a large technology exhibition in London.

What is planned?
The organiser describes two days of talks, panel discussions, live demonstrations, start-up exhibitions and investor pitching. The 2027 programme is being developed, so use the current event page for speaker and session announcements. Speakers from the previous edition should not be treated as a confirmed line-up for this one.
Bring one repetitive task
A useful starting point is a task that involves repeatedly reading, sorting or retyping information. That might mean copying receipt details, locating information in company documents or preparing an enquiry for someone to review. Explain the input, the result you need and the mistakes that would matter. The right discussion is about that workflow, rather than whether a product simply contains AI.
Ask what a person still needs to check
For a receipt-reading tool, ask how an employee corrects an amount and how the office approves the claim. For document search, ask whether the user can see which document supports an answer. A demonstration should make the review process visible. It should also explain what happens when the system cannot produce a reliable result.
Make the next step proportionate
An AI feature may need a mobile screen, an office panel and a connection to an existing database. Those surrounding controls can matter as much as the model itself. Digital Solutions can help translate the idea into a practical first version, with clear responsibilities for checking information and a scope based on the time-consuming task you actually want to improve.
Discuss your next step with Digital Solutions
You do not need a technical specification to start a conversation. Explain the outcome you want and the work that takes the most time. Explore our related software services or contact us to discuss the idea.
