Queensland Small Business Month 2026
AI for Business Masterclass
The practical AI workshop for Queensland small business. Not the hype. Just what actually works.
48% of Australian businesses aren't using AI. One-third don't know where to start.
You've probably heard about AI from your bank, your accountant, or a LinkedIn post. Maybe you've tried ChatGPT a few times. But there's a gap between knowing AI exists and knowing how to make it useful in your business.
Free training programs create awareness. This masterclass provides implementation. You'll leave with tools configured, frameworks practised, and a list of tasks you can try Monday morning.
What you'll get in 2.5 hours
The BRIEF Framework
An evidence-based prompting method backed by Wharton research. Learn to structure every AI request like a brief for a capable colleague. The best prompt isn't clever. It's clear.
Persistent context
Stop briefing a new temp every morning. Configure your AI tool to remember your business, your customers, your industry, and your tone in every conversation.
Live demos across 7 industries
Watch AI applied to real tasks in trades, professional services, retail, health, real estate, transport, and not-for-profits. See your industry represented.
Live business workshop
One business from the audience gets workshopped live. We'll map out AI opportunities together, on stage. Not a pre-recorded demo. Real business, real analysis.
Who this is for
Business owners and managers across South-East Queensland who want practical AI skills, not theory. No technical background needed.
Whether you're quoting jobs, seeing patients, serving customers, advising clients, listing properties, dispatching trucks, or writing grant applications. The same principles apply.
What you'll walk away with
- The BRIEF framework reference card
- Your AI tool configured with your business context
- Industry-specific prompt templates you can copy and use immediately
- A resource page to share with your team
- Access to the recording if you need to revisit anything
- A free 30-minute coffee chat to discuss your specific business

Questions
Is this online or in person?
Online via Zoom. Attend from anywhere in Australia. A recording is available for ticket holders who can't make the live session.
Do I need technical skills?
No. If you can write an email, you can use these techniques. This is for business owners and managers, not developers.
What AI tools do I need?
Any of the major tools: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot. All have free tiers. We'll cover all of them and help you choose what fits.
What if I can't make the live session?
All ticket holders get access to the recording. You can also book a replay-only ticket at a reduced rate after the event.
What's the coffee chat?
A free 30-minute conversation after the masterclass to discuss your specific business. No sales pitch. Just practical advice on where AI fits for you.
How is this different from free AI training?
Free programs like CommBank's AI training create awareness. This masterclass provides implementation. You leave with tools configured, frameworks practised, and a list of tasks you can start Monday morning.
