WSTI Festi 2026: AI for Not-for-Profits & Community

Explore how a local not-for-profit approached a real operational challenge with agentic AI at this practical Parramatta session. The case-study team will share their process, decisions and early results using sample data only, alongside an honest discussion of privacy, accuracy and where human judgement remains essential.

On the night

• Hear how the team moved from discovery questions to a safe, contained use case.
• See an on-stage showcase of the AI solution and its initial results.
• Work through discovery questions for your own organisation and identify a possible first use case.
• Join Q&A and networking, with light refreshments from doors opening.

Who it’s for

No technical background is required. It is suited to directors, managers, volunteer coordinators, program leads, social workers, board and committee members, and people from community, faith, cultural and social-enterprise organisations. Colleagues are welcome to work through the hands-on activity together.

Registration

Attendance is free, but places are limited. You must register your interest by Wednesday 11 November. Free tickets will be confirmed on a rolling basis, no later than Wednesday 11 November. If confirmed and unable to attend, please notify the organiser so the place can be offered to someone else.
