Free practical Generative AI education for the charity and community sector.

The VCSE sector is being asked to do more with less – and Generative AI is one of the most powerful tools within reach to help. But honest, jargon-free guidance on how to use it well shouldn’t depend on your budget. 

That’s why this CHARIT:AI Conference is completely free to attend.
