Your Next Step with AI: Moving Beyond Copy and Paste

Thursday 12th November 2026, 12.00pm AEDT, Online via ZOOM

AES Members - FREE  I  Non-Members - $50


Most associations have started experimenting with AI. It might be used to draft an email, summarise a document, develop ideas or help create content. But for many organisations, AI use is still ad hoc — different people are using different tools in different ways, and the quality of the results can vary considerably.

So, What Comes Next?

This practical session is designed to help association professionals move beyond simply copying and pasting a request into an AI tool and hoping for a useful response.

You’ll learn how to use AI more deliberately, so the results are more relevant, more consistent and better reflect your organisation. You’ll see how relatively small changes in the way you work with AI — such as providing better context, being clearer about the outcome you need and building more effective everyday habits — can make a significant difference.

The session will also explore practical ways AI can support everyday association work, while considering important issues such as privacy, accuracy, appropriate oversight and knowing when human judgement is essential.

You don’t need to be an AI expert or have a formal AI strategy in place. This session is for association professionals who have already started using AI and are ready to take the next step.

What You'll Learn

1.
Where your association is with AI right now — and what comes next
Consider how AI is currently being used across your organisation and identify practical opportunities to move beyond ad hoc use.
2. How to get results that sound like your association, not like AI

Learn how providing the right context, examples and direction can produce responses that better reflect your organisation’s voice, audience and purpose.

3.
How to ask AI for the result you want, not just a task

Move beyond basic prompts by being clearer about the outcome, audience, format and purpose of what you need.

4. Practical ways to use AI in your everyday work

Explore useful applications for common association tasks, including communications, administration, planning, research, meetings and member engagement.

5.
Everyday habits that help keep AI use safe and appropriate

Understand the practical considerations around privacy, accuracy, checking outputs and human oversight — and the questions worth taking back to your own organisation.

What You'll Take Away

You’ll leave with practical ideas you can apply immediately, together with a short list of steps to help you use AI more effectively and purposefully within your organisation.

About the Presenter

Tania Carcenac – Founder, AI With Intent

Tania Carcenac is the founder of AI With Intent, based in Perth, and specialises in bridging the gap between learning about AI and actually putting it to work.

Many of the people Tania works with have already started experimenting with AI but find their use is still scattered or not delivering the results they expected. Through AI audits, workshops, training and tailored AI setups, she helps organisations build a practical foundation that makes AI a useful part of everyday work.

Before moving into AI, Tania spent several years as a life coach, bringing a strong people-focused perspective to her work. Her approach is centred on using AI deliberately to save time and free people to focus on the areas where they add the greatest value — relationships, creativity and the work that reflects an organisation’s values.
