If you have been meaning to get to grips with AI but want practical help rather than hype, here is something useful: MEM Digital t/a Marbl Codes, in partnership with fellow member Perkins Smart-Ops, is running two hands-on workshops at Stanwick Lakes this July, and as a WNNCC member you get 10% off either one. No theory, no sales pitch, no jargon. You leave with something that actually works.
Both are run by Richard and David, independent instructors with no software or service to sell you, so the advice is genuinely on your side. Numbers are deliberately small, so you get real one-to-one help rather than watching a demo from the back of a room.
Which one is right for you?
Think of them as two rungs on the same ladder. If AI still feels like something everyone else has figured out, start with AI Unlocked. If you are ready to actually build something, go straight for Building Websites With AI – or do both.
AI Unlocked – Monday 13 July, 9am to 1pm
A half day to go from “I keep meaning to try AI” to genuinely using it on real work. You will run your first proper prompt on a real task from your own business, learn which tool suits which job (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot), set AI up to sound like you with a one-time setup, and pick one of your own processes and walk out with it working. Capped at 15 people, with a printed reference and prompt pack to take away, lunch and refreshments included, and follow-up support after the day. Price: £149 + VAT.
Building Websites With AI – Wednesday 30 July, 9am to 5pm
A full day where you build a real, working website rather than watch someone else do it. By the end you will have a live three-page site (home, about and contact pages with a working form), plus the domain, hosting, and a professional email mailbox ready, all built with AI guiding you. It is for doers. You leave with a site that is live, the know-how to keep it going, and reusable AI workflows for your next project. Includes six months of free hosting (worth £150 + VAT), lunch, and one-to-one support throughout. Price: £249 + VAT.
Both workshops run at Stanwick Lakes, Northampton Road, Stanwick, Wellingborough, NN9 6GY – easy to reach and a lovely spot for a focused day away from the desk.
Don’t forget, there is also lunch and networking thrown in to the mix!
