Speakers
Mathew Parkins
Mathew is a mission-driven leader committed to revolutionising business efficiency through AI and automation - but don't let that formal description fool you! He's the founder of The AI Guys, where he spends his days helping scale up businesses work smarter, not harder.
With over a decade in business development and marketing and a passion for making technology accessible, Mat has gone from building websites to becoming the go-to expert for practical AI solutions. He's particularly proud of creating systems that help businesses, from startups to companies with large teams, save countless hours of admin time (and more than a few headaches).
He's spearheading an ambitious mission to give back 1 billion hours to entrepreneurs and their teams by 2045 through AI-powered solutions and process optimisation. When he's not crafting automation solutions, you'll find him sharing his knowledge at the Federation of Small Businesses or training the next generation of business leaders at places like the University of Essex.
Mat's superpower? Taking complex tech and explaining it in a way that makes sense to regular business owners. No jargon, no confusion - just practical solutions that work.
