Kick-start your day with a breakfast session exploring how automation and artificial intelligence run the back office of your tourism or hospitality business.

Whether you're seeking to enhance your customer experience or streamline operations and admin, this session is for you.

Don't miss this chance to see how smart technology can be your hardest-working employee. You'll leave with practical ideas to make your business run smoother, freeing you up to focus on what matters most – your customers.

In this session, you'll learn:

  • what automation actually means for small businesses
  • how AI can handle laborious tasks like bookings, invoices, and staff rotas
  • real examples of hotels and tour companies saving time and money with these tools
  • simple ways to start using automation, even if you're not tech-savvy

No tech knowledge is needed – just bring your curiosity and your appetite for both breakfast and business growth!

The session will be hosted by Director of Traveltech for Scotland, Edinburgh Futures Institute, Joshua Ryan-Saha and will feature two insightful speakers:

  • Pedro Moreira, Director at Aphy, a cloud based automation company that supports hospitality businesses to streamline their support operations 24/7, saving them time spent on repetitive tasks.
  • Andrew Guy, Managing Director, DF Intelligence, which delivers intelligently automated processes that transform and streamline work across a business's finance and HR operations.

This event is designed for owners, managers, and decision-makers within Edinburgh's tourism sector, including attractions, experiences, hotels, B&Bs, restaurants, and bars.
