AI Workshops Milton Keynes: What's On at The AI Cyclops This September and October

You do not need another list of AI tools. You need to know which ones can actually help your business, how to use them and where to start. The AI workshops Milton Keynes businesses have been asking for are here — and this September and October, The AI Cyclops has a full programme designed to move you from curious to capable.

Whether you have a website idea that never gets past the planning stage, marketing content that takes longer than it should, or videos you keep putting off because the thought of filming yourself is too much — there is a practical session here for you.

According to the UK Government's AI Opportunities Action Plan, building AI skills across the workforce is a national priority. The gap between knowing AI exists and knowing how to use it confidently is exactly what The AI Cyclops exists to close.

AI Workshops Milton Keynes: CPD-Certified Masterclasses This September 2026

Each masterclass gives you three focused hours to explore a specific AI tool and put it into practice. Sessions are CPD-certified, hands-on and capped at 8 to 10 people — which means smaller groups, real questions answered and time to actually work through what you are learning.

Each masterclass costs £69.99, or £125.99 for two tickets when you bring a colleague.

1. Vibe Coding (15 or 23 September): Build websites and apps without writing a single line of code. Get hands-on with the process rather than watching someone else demonstrate it.
2. AI Avatar Videos with HeyGen (17 September): Create professional presenter-style videos without a studio, a camera setup or twenty takes to get it right.
3. AI for Marketing (18 September): Plan campaigns, research audiences and create content — while keeping your own voice and saving significant time.
4. Microsoft Copilot (29 September): Get practical value from Copilot across Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook — within the tools you already use every day.
5. Claude AI (30 September): Tackle long documents, careful writing and tasks that require considered thinking, with space to ask questions and explore properly.

Browse all September masterclasses and book your place at The AI Cyclops.

Practical AI for Business: A Full-Day Hands-On Workshop

Friday 25 September 2026, 9.30am–4.30pm

If you are not ready to focus on one tool just yet — if you want to understand how several fit together and where they could genuinely help your business — the Practical AI for Business workshop is the right starting point.

This full day brings together ChatGPT, Canva AI, HeyGen, prompting and workflows in one practical session. No jargon. No coding. Just an honest opportunity to explore the tools and build your confidence using them.

• Early Bird price: £199 (standard price £245)
• Lunch and parking are included
• Silver members receive £50 off; Gold members receive £100 off

The CIPD's Learning at Work Survey consistently shows that hands-on, applied learning leads to greater confidence and skill retention than passive methods. This workshop is built around that principle.

The Great AI Debate — 16 October 2026

Friday 16 October 2026, 1pm–5pm | South Central Institute of Technology, Milton Keynes

Learning how to use AI is one conversation. Deciding how we feel about its broader impact is another. The Great AI Debate brings together six panellists from business, technology, education and the creative industries to discuss a question worth sitting with:

Is AI an opportunity, a threat or both?

This is a free public event with plenty of opportunity for the audience to contribute. Whether you are enthusiastic, concerned or still making up your mind, the discussion makes room for different perspectives. Admission is free — claim your ticket via Eventbrite.
