AI and Its Use in the Promotional Products and Merchandise Industry

Date: Thursday 22 October 2026
Time: 11am AEDT | 1pm NZDT

AI is opening up new opportunities for promotional products businesses to work more efficiently, improve their output and support business growth. But getting useful results takes more than simply entering a question into an AI tool.
Knowing what you want to achieve, how to prompt effectively and when to apply human judgement can make all the difference. Protecting your business and customer data is equally essential.
Join APPA for a member exclusive webinar with Marc Gunasinghe, Director of Gun Web Systems, who brings over 30 years of experience developing tailored software solutions for the promotional products industry.
