From a single conference to a regional AI community.
Accelerating AI began with a simple question for South Midlands businesses: what does AI actually mean for us? Four conferences later, that question has become a practical regional conversation.
Clear thinking on AI, built for real businesses.
Accelerating AI exists to help small and medium-sized businesses understand what AI can do, where it is heading, and how it is likely to affect the way they work.
The focus is practical and regional. We put real examples, honest assessments and people with direct experience in front of the businesses that need to make decisions.
Three businesses, one shared initiative.
Accelerating AI is led by Matthew Rigby-White, Lionel Naidoo and Andy Paul, bringing together backgrounds in marketing, digital, infrastructure, automation, data science and software expertise.



Useful, practical and refreshingly grounded.
