Our Next Meeting
Spams & Scams- How AI is Reshaping Trust and Identity
12th October 2026 - Members and First Time Visitors Only
17:30 - 20:00
Businesses are embracing AI to improve productivity, enhance customer experiences, generate insights, and reduce costs. Criminals are embracing the very same technology to create more convincing scams, automate fraud, and scale attacks like never before. As a result, AI’s users are increasingly becoming its victims, navigating fake websites, fraudulent invoices, cloned voices, fabricated videos, and convincing digital identities.
Tonight's presentation explores both the opportunities AI creates and the risks it introduces. We'll examine how cybercriminals are weaponising the same technology businesses are using to innovate, why trust has become the new battleground, and what organisations can do to stay one step ahead.
Venue: Rudding Park, Rudding Lane, Follifoot HG3 1JH
Our core benefits
Network
The meetings begin with networking in Harrogate's popular hotels and other venues. As well as the nine monthly meetings each year, there are three meetings specifically for networking. Two are known as Safaris, which are effectively speed networking events, and the third is a summer social.
Learn
Each meeting has a topic relevant to local businesses, such as tourism, traffic, health & wellbeing or the economy. Guest speakers are invited to share their expertise and knowledge with the audience, who can also ask questions. At each meeting, there is time for members to announce their latest news, events and special offers.
Lobby

“Businesses are strongest when they are united in a common purpose. We will continue to work closely with all the business organisations in the Harrogate district and hope that our joint efforts can be the greatest force for positive development that our area has ever known.”
