The Most Valuable People in Business Are Not Writing Code.They Are Operating Claude.

You will leave knowing how to make AI useful across your entire working week.

Helping Local Women Turn AI Into a Business Advantage
Victoria and Leo live a few minutes apart in Beachlands. One spends her days on ocean science and policy. The other spends his building AI for New Zealand businesses.
Different worlds, same coast, and the same view: the women running businesses and leading teams out here should not be the last ones to get their hands on this.
Orca Consulting works on complex problems in the ocean. Waboom AI works on complex problems at the desk. Together we are backing the businesses on our own doorstep to grow with AI rather than watch it happen to them.
On 10 September we are empowering women to automate the daily tasks eating their week, and to hand the busywork to AI so they can concentrate on what matters most.
Learn AI With People Who Understand Real Business
Not consultants reading off slides. Two people who run their own businesses on the Pōhutukawa Coast and use this every week.
Dr Victoria Syddall
Managing Director, Orca Consulting
Marine and fisheries policy specialist, and the person bringing this room together. Ten years across research, policy and project management in New Zealand and the Pacific. Sailor, diver, surfer, mum of three.
Leo Garcia-Curtis
Founder, Waboom AI
Your coach on the day. Ran a Shopify agency of 40 staff, now builds AI for New Zealand businesses. Has trained more than 2,000 people, from Xero and Red Bull to government teams.
What Your Afternoon Looks Like
Thursday 10 September, Pine Harbour Marina, Beachlands.
Arrive, get set up, meet the room before we start.
Hands on from the start. You will work inside the tools yourself, learning Projects, Skills, connectors, scheduled jobs, automation and practical AI workflows, with help beside you throughout.
Stay as long as you like. This is the part people say they got the most out of.
Three Hours. Three Things You Take Home
You are not watching a demo. You are building, from the first twenty minutes.
Hour 1
Learn How to Work With AI Properly
Start with the foundations. Understand what Claude and other AI tools are good at, how to give AI context, how to get better results, when to use which tool, and how to stop treating AI like a smarter Google search.
Hour 2
Make AI Work for You
Learn how Projects, Skills, connectors and scheduled jobs help organise work, automate repeatable tasks and save time.
Hour 3
Apply AI to Your Work
Use what you have learned on real tasks like research, emails, reporting, planning, content, presentations and Claude Design.
This Is for You If
- You run a business, or you lead a team, and the admin is eating your week.
- You have used ChatGPT a bit and suspect you are barely scratching it.
- You are tired of being the bottleneck on work that should not need you.
- You want to be the person in your organisation who actually knows how this works.
