Waypoint completed, and what a success. Thank you to everyone who came along to think properly about making their business AI native. It was great to see so many people genuinely interested and engaged in AI, and the room made the event. Thank you to our speakers and panellists for their insights and for their candour. Stephen Denver, OpenAI Kevin Collins, Echofold, and Anthropic's Claude Code Ambassador for Ireland Panel one: AI in practice, across manufacturing, recruitment, law and engineering. Bernard Denver, Managing Director of Metec Consulting Engineers Sean Devlin, Group Sales Director of MCS Group | Your Specialist Recruitment Consultancy Feargal Brennan, Managing Partner of Byrne Wallace Shields LLP Matthew Mullan, Senior Director of Cost Model Development at aPriori Technologies Panel two: the wider picture. Security, regulation and cost, and what it actually takes to adopt AI responsibly. Jonathan Eustace, Commercial Director of Microsoft Rebekah Brooks, Co-founder and COO of The Indie List Robert O'Farrell, Chief Technology Officer of ID-Pal Roger Courtney, Founder & CEO of Sunstone Between them they gave the room something it could take back to work. Plenty of people will tell you what has worked for them. Far fewer will tell you what did not, and that is what made these sessions worth sitting in on. Thank you to the Greater Dublin Chamber Alliance and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Chamber of Commerce for bringing their members along and for getting behind the idea from the start. This was the first Waypoint, and it will not be the last.
