AI for Impact
Discover how AI can empower you to address sustainability challenges. In this interactive workshop, you’ll explore practical applications of AI for positive impact—and experience it firsthand through live demonstrations using a custom-built GPT tool and Deep Research on your phone or laptop.
Generative AI specialist Wytze de Haan (Narrative) demonstrates how artificial intelligence can guide impactful decisions in operating your organisation. Through a live demo of a custom GPT built on the Dutch Sustainability Ladder for Events, you’ll learn to craft effective prompts, choose the right AI model, and interpret outcomes with confidence. In addition, you’ll explore how Deep Research can surface hidden insights and support complex sustainability questions. Wherever you are on your journey towards environmental and social impact, you’ll gain fresh tools and perspectives to drive meaningful change.
What you will learn in this workshop
