Exploring AI at GIMA AGM & Day Conference 2025

GIMA will hold its AGM & Day Conference on Tuesday, 25th March 2025, at Radcliffe House, University of Warwick. It promises to be a day of networking, industry-leading insights, and discussions on how businesses can harness the power of AI to drive efficiency and growth.

 

The event will begin with the Annual General Meeting, exclusively for fully paid-up members, followed by a dynamic Day Conference open to all delegates.

 

The Day Conference will feature an address from Alan Roper, Managing Director of Blue Diamond Group, who will share invaluable insights from one of the UK’s leading garden centre groups. Delegates will also explore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, gaining practical knowledge on how to use AI to build efficiencies within their businesses. The popular GIMA Panel will return, offering a platform for members to share real-world examples of how they are already adopting AI to improve their processes and drive growth.

 

GIMA Director, Vicky Nuttall, said: “Our AGM & Day Conference is a unique opportunity to connect with fellow members and gain invaluable insights into the trends shaping our sector. The transformative power of AI should be at the forefront of everyone’s business, and we’re excited to bring together experts and our members to share knowledge, ideas, and solutions that drive success. Don’t miss this essential date in the GIMA calendar!”
