NZ Chapter: Safe and effective use of AI in Advancement
Following the highly subscribed “AI in the Advancement Office: Applications for Today” masterclass at last year’s Educate Plus Summit in Wellington, Clive Pedley (CEO & Director, Giving Architects) and Ross Imbler (Advancement Services Manager, University of Canterbury) return with the next evolution in AI for advancement.
This interactive workshop goes beyond the basics, exploring the latest practical applications of AI to enhance fundraising, streamline alumni operations, support admissions operations and strengthen donor engagement. Participants will gain hands-on insights into how AI can be effectively integrated into their advancement office to drive smarter decision-making and improved outcomes.
Designed for professionals ready to move from curiosity to capability, but also if you are just dipping your toes into the AI world, this session will equip you with the tools, ideas, and confidence to take your use of AI to the next level.
Attendees are asked to bring their laptops to access ChatGPT
