Run AI on your own terms. Automate your WordPress content. Two focused talks in Portimão, one evening.
On June 11, LEDEX Events comes to Portimão for an evening on practical AI you can act on right away - automating repetitive content work inside WordPress, and running your own AI models without a cloud subscription.
LEDEX Events brings together business owners, managers, and entrepreneurs from across the Algarve to explore practical ways to use AI and digital tools in their work. Each event has two focused presentations and space to connect with others working through the same questions.
This LEDEX event is paid. Here is why.
The meeting room at Jupiter Algarve Hotel is not free. Neither is the time it takes to organise each edition: speaker coordination, venue booking, and all the logistics in between. The €12 ticket keeps the cost low while covering what the event actually costs to run.
But the cost does more than cover the room. We built LEDEX as a business environment for business owners who are serious about learning. A ticket filters for that commitment. The people in the room chose to be there. Not because entry was free. That changes the quality of the conversations and the people you meet.
If you are a business owner who wants to understand how AI can work for your business, this is the right room.
For Whom
- Business owners curious about AI but wary of cloud costs and data privacy
- Anyone managing a website or content team who wants to reduce manual work
- Remote workers and digital nomads based in or visiting the Algarve
- Site managers who work with WordPress
- Entrepreneurs exploring what AI can do for their business today
What to Expect
Fellyph Cintra, Developer Advocate at Automattic, will show how AI workflows are taking over repetitive content tasks inside WordPress - including a first look at WordPress Code Studio.
James Twose will walk through how to run AI models on your own computer: no cloud, no subscription, and your data stays with you.

Welcome & Introductions
18:15 – 18:45
How AI Can Help Run Your WordPress Website
by Fellyph Cintra
WordPress powers over 800 million websites, but most site owners still spend too much time updating content, organising posts, adding tags, and managing repetitive publishing tasks. In some cases, one AI workflow can handle in seconds what used to take hours manually. Fellyph will show how AI-assisted workflows are changing the way WordPress sites are managed, including an early look at WordPress Code Studio - a new tool for creating custom AI-supported workflows on your site. Best for: business owners, marketers, content creators, agencies, and anyone running a WordPress website.
18:45 – 19:15
Private AI for Your Business: Run AI on Your Own Computer
by James Twose
Not every business wants to send its data to cloud AI tools. James will show how businesses can run powerful AI models directly on their own computers - no monthly subscriptions, no per-query costs, no sending sensitive information to external platforms. He will walk through what hardware is actually needed, which tools make setup practical, and how to match the right model to tasks like writing support, document analysis, and Q&A with your own files. By the end, you'll know whether local AI is a realistic option for your business and what first steps to take. Best for: business owners, consultants, privacy-conscious professionals, and anyone working with sensitive documents.
