I'm not a member. Can I still come to the Data & AI Summit, and what does it cost?
Yes, the Summit is open to everyone. Here's how the prices compare, including what you'd save by joining first.
| Non-member | Member Best fit | |
|---|---|---|
| Summit ticket | £495 | £295 |
| Workshop add-on | £150 | £95 |

Associate membership costs £145 a year, so you'd be £55 better off on the Summit alone. Shall I book your ticket, or start with membership?

Policy & guidance expert
Finds the exact clause in your codes, standards and guidance, and explains it plainly.
The exact wording, explained for each member's situation
Can I accept a gift from a client I've just finished working for?
Usually yes, as long as it's modest and doesn't create a conflict of interest. The code of conduct sets two conditions:
Members may accept gifts or hospitality of modest value, provided they do not influence, or appear to influence, their professional judgement.
Any gift worth more than £100 must be declared to your employer or the Institute within 28 days.
So a thank-you card or a bottle of wine is fine. Anything over £100 needs declaring, which I can help you do now.

Please confirm
Done. You'll get a reminder 30 days before 1 March, and you can switch back to annual payment at any time.

Fewer lapses, with the at-risk list ready to act on
Which member segments are at the highest risk of not renewing this quarter?
Mid-career members in two regions show the highest lapse risk, driven by falling event attendance. Here's the picture, and three actions I'd prioritise.
- Re-engagement email to 412 mid-career members Similar emails won back 1 in 5 lapsing members last year Review
- Two North West events in November Attendance there is down 34% year on year Plan
- Call list of 40 high-value lapse risks Members with 10 or more years' tenure Open

UK’s only AI trade association selects ReadyIntelligence from Pixl8 Group
UKAI selects ReadyIntelligence from Pixl8, marking a major step in advancing knowledge, insight and operations for the UK’s AI sector.
We needed ReadyIntelligence because our members are using AI tools but without reliable source information. Members and users don't always know the exact terminology they need to use when searching. With ReadyIntelligence they can ask a natural question and they won't only get the answer to that question but they get links to source information.
