10:50 – 12.00 Unlock the Power of ChatGPT – Become a Super Assistant

In the near future the Assistant profession will not be possible without mastering Artificial Intelligence (AI). With the advent of AI and natural language processing technologies, Assistants have been empowered with unprecedented capabilities. AI is revolutionising the Assistant profession by providing advanced tools and technologies that enable them to work smarter, faster, and more efficiently. One such breakthrough in AI is ChatGPT, a cutting-edge language model developed by OpenAI. ChatGPT leverages vast amounts of data and machine learning techniques to generate human-like responses to text inputs.

Don’t worry, ChatGPT is here to assist you, not replace you. However, if you don’t know how to use it, you might be replaced by someone who does.

Stay ahead of the competition!

13:10 – 14:00 Collaborating with Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams has gone from an obscure piece of software to one that is one everyone’s lips. We can make video calls from it, but it has so much more to offer. It has been designed to collaborate easily in Teams. In no time we’ll be file sharing, co-editing and screen sharing. We’ll learn how to:

✔ Join, create and edit Teams and members
✔ Group chats and channels
✔ Sharing files
✔ Exploring emojis, gifs and stickers
✔ Adding Wikis, Tabs and Apps (OneNote, Bot, Planner)
✔ Using Search and Command like a pro
✔ Keyboard shortcuts galore

14:00 – 14:10 Q&A

14:10 – 14:30 Coffee & Networking

14:30 – 15:40   Magic Moments with Microsoft

An enormous number of us, Assistants, use the world’s most popular software Microsoft Office on a daily basis. Yet only a few of us can truly call ourselves masters. We tend to use familiar features and functions and ignore the rest. Did you ever think of re-branding your presentations and documents in the exact colours of your company logo? And do we simply leave Excel of the equation because we feel it is really only for accountants?

Microsoft Office Certified Expert Paul promises to make you love Microsoft a little more again. You will learn how to use it effectively to produce amazing professional documents, spreadsheets and presentations, and with the use of breath-taking shortcuts, it needn’t take you hours!

Paul will show his all-time favourite 30 (or more) Microsoft tips that will save you time, energy and stress.

15:40 – 15:50 Q&A
