Celerity Keynote & Case Studies
Real-world examples of AI agents delivering measurable productivity gains – agentic AI & generative AI
Tom Bishop
Partner Technical Specialist - AI Agents & Governance at IBM
This invitation-only, in-person workshop is a hands-on “taster” session designed to help public sector leaders experience how AI agents can drive productivity today.
Building on the recent webinar, this session moves from insight to action - giving participants the opportunity to interact directly with pre-built AI solutions and explore how they apply within their own organisations.
Delivered in collaboration with Celerity and IBM Client Engineering, the session focuses on proven, packaged AI use cases across front and back-office functions. While not sector-specific, expert facilitators will guide discussion to ensure clear relevance to public sector challenges.
