Three BCON members will own a working AI application by 17 June.Be one of them.
The 17 June BCON evening will discuss what AI is already doing for businesses leading at scale. For three of you, the discussion will be a demonstration — a working web application, built in a single session, presented by you on the night.
If you have an idea waiting on resource, capacity, or the right moment, the panel invites you to submit it. Up to three will be selected, built, and handed over with an accompanying presentation ready to deliver.
Submit your idea →No fee. No equity. No follow-up offer.
The codebase is yours, the application is yours to extend or take down, the presentation is yours to give.
Pick a starter prompt. Customise it. Submit.
The scale of opportunity is unprecedented
Analysts are now openly predicting the world’s first billion-pound business run by a handful of people, powered by AI. Boards, executives and founders who understand how to harness these platforms are already saving at least a day a week, accelerating decision-making, and unlocking levels of productivity, insight and competitive advantage that were unimaginable two years ago.
Those who do not engage will find themselves outpaced by competitors, peers and entire markets moving at a fundamentally different speed.

Professional services AI adoption
Implementation rates in professional services more than doubled in twelve months — from 33% in 2023 to 71% in 2024. Professional services now leads all sectors in generative AI adoption.

240 hrs
Recovered per professional, per year
Approximately a day a week. Industry estimates put the time saved per professional using AI at 240 hours annually — alongside reported productivity gains of around 40% and equivalent cost reductions, with ROI typically realised within six to twelve months.

Global AI adoption forecast by 2027
The World Economic Forum projects approximately three-quarters of companies globally will have adopted AI by 2027. The remaining quarter face acceleration pressure as competitors pull ahead.

Federal Reserve research (April 2026) confirms what the numbers above conceal: smaller firms and AI-native ventures are leading adoption, not lagging it. The advantage is no longer scale — it is speed of adoption.
This initiative is the BCON community’s invitation to participate — not observe.
What this is
Most ideas worth building never get built. Not because they’re wrong — because the cost, the capacity, and the timing rarely align in a busy practice. Bringing in an agency takes months and breaks margins. Asking an already-stretched team to take it on adds to a full plate. No-code tools demand the time you don’t have. The default outcome is the idea waits.
This initiative removes the wait — for three of you.
You’ll find a curated gallery of starter prompts — opinionated, ready-to-edit templates calibrated to professional services. Pick the one closest to your idea, customise it to your firm, and submit. The template handles the structure; your edits make it yours. If your idea doesn’t fit any template, an open submission option is available.
Up to three ideas are selected for development. Each selected idea is built in a single session and hand-delivered as a working web application with an accompanying presentation, ready to demonstrate on the night.
The applications are demonstrations — not production-grade, deployed-to-thousands-of-users systems. They show what can be built very quickly. You own the codebase. You own the intellectual property. Any further development is at your discretion, with your own team or developers, on your own timeline.
This is a first-mover demonstration for the BCON community of what the shift to AI-led building actually looks like — not as theory, but as a working application built for one of you, by one of you.
From idea to demonstration in weeks
Submission to presentation. Confidence kept at every stage.
- Pick a starter prompt from the gallery (or use the open submission). Customise it. Submit by 25 May 2026 — decisions are made on a first-come basis as strong submissions arrive. We reserve the right to close submissions earlier if three ideas are selected before then.
- We review all submissions in confidence.
- Up to three ideas are selected by 27 May 2026.
- Selected originators are contacted privately by email.
- Originators will be supplied with a PowerPoint presentation and a Zip file containing the codebase.
- Originators present their applications on the evening of 17 June.
An editorial committee, not a judging panel
Submissions are reviewed in confidence. Panel composition remains undisclosed during the submission window — to protect the integrity of the review and to remove any possibility of lobbying.
Submissions are reviewed against three criteria.
- Is the idea clear?
- Can it be built within the given time constraints?
- Will the originator stand up and present it?
Your idea remains yours
Each submission is reviewed in confidence. Submissions will not be shared, copied, repurposed, or referenced outside the evaluation. Non-selected submissions are deleted within 14 days of the event.
If your idea is selected, you retain the codebase, the intellectual property, and the right to present it as your own. The application is hosted at our domain only as long as you wish — you may take the codebase to your own infrastructure at any time. There is no obligation to credit the panel, this initiative, or any contributor.
The starter prompts in the gallery are licensed for use within this initiative only. Full terms apply to both submission and template use.
Three ideas. Three places. First come, first served.
By 27 May three ideas will have been selected. By 17 June three members of this community will have presented working applications they own. The decision to be among them is yours.
Submissions are reviewed on arrival. We reserve the right to close the window early if three ideas are selected before 25 May.
