SUMMARY:Clerks Seminar April 20th 2026 – Workshop 2 – Harness AI & Timesaving Tools – with Emma Marsden, Dan Purchese and Steve Walker
DESCRIPTION:This workshop Harness AI & Timesaving Tools focuses on practical, hands‑on support for Town and Parish Clerks looking to streamline day‑to‑day operations using modern digital tools. Led by Emma Marsden (SLCC Branch Secretary) and supported by experts Dan Purchese (Breakthrough Communications)and Steve Walker (Cloudy IT) , the workshop explores how artificial intelligence can simplify administrative tasks, improve workflow organisation, and enhance communication with councillors and residents. Through guided exercises and realistic council scenarios, attendees will discover how AI can assist with drafting documents, responding to queries, managing information, and preparing for meetings, saving valuable time without compromising quality.\nDesigned for all experience levels, this interactive workshop offers a supportive environment to experiment with tools, ask questions, and build digital confidence. Participants will leave with practical techniques they can apply immediately in their council offices, along with a clearer understanding of how AI can help reinforce accuracy, keep projects on track, and reduce daily workload pressures. This session complements the morning’s strategic overview by translating ideas into actionable skills Clerks can use the very next day.\nLocation: The Paralympic Room\n\nThe cost of this workshop is included in your conference ticket.\nDuration, 45 minutes including Q&A\n\nNOTE: \n\nYou must book a Clerks Seminar ticket to attend this workshop  \nAll workshops are running concurrently to allow Clerks to benefit from attending all three, you must select one preferred time slot to confirm your place. \n\n
