The Problem

Everyone talks about AI.
Nobody shows you how.

Big businesses have AI consultants and million-pound budgets. You've got YouTube videos and confusion. MAIN bridges that gap with real events, for real people, teaching real tools.

😩

Without MAIN

Generic courses talk about "machine learning strategy" when you just want to send quotes faster.

🎯

With MAIN

You follow along on your phone, set up tools live, and see results the very next day.

💡

The MAIN difference

No jargon. No upsells. Just practical, trade-specific AI skills delivered in a single evening — with everything set up before you leave the room.

Who It's For

Built for people who do things

Whether you run a plumbing business, a startup, or just want to use AI smarter in your life — MAIN is for you.

🛠️

Small & Medium Businesses

Tradespeople, shop owners, agencies, accountants, estate agents — anyone running a business who wants AI to handle the repetitive work so they can focus on growth.

💡

Entrepreneurs & Founders

Startup founders, side hustlers, and aspiring app builders who want to use AI to prototype faster, automate workflows, and punch above their weight.

🤖

AI-Curious Individuals

Anyone who's heard about AI and wants to understand how to actually use it — for personal productivity, career development, or simply keeping up with the world.

No. MAIN is vendor-neutral. We recommend the best tools for your situation — many are free. We educate, not sell. Sponsors are always clearly disclosed.

Tickets are £10-£20 depending on the event. We keep prices low deliberately — MAIN is about access, not exclusivity. Members get free or discounted entry.

Currently: plumbers, electricians, builders, estate agents, accountants, property managers, and local retail. New industries added monthly.
