Work Less is one practical day to find what's slowing you down, learn the systems and AI tools that fix it, and leave with a clear plan to work less and earn more.

For busy entrepreneurs and founders who know there's a smarter way to run their business.

  • You feel you should be using AI, but there are so many options. You know that your competitors are ahead of you in this and it makes you panic

What makes the Work Less Event different from other events

  • Hand picked speakers

Speakers are selected for their expertise and merits, not for the money they can afford to pay to be on stage.

  • Relatable stories

You are bored to hear £100k/month hacks. Here you’ll hear real stories from normal people who are able to make a decent income while working part time.

  • Short talks

We won’t bombard you with information that you won’t know how to piece together. All talks are short, focused, and practical.

  • Manageable room

At Work Less you won’t get lost in the crowd. The room is small enough that you’ll have space to ask questions and actually connect with the speakers and other attendees.

  • Guided Networking

A proper networking time is built in rather than being left for the breaks. We’ll actively help you make connections based on your interest (no awkward 30 second pitches!).

  • A safe space

I don’t care what you define yourself as, as long as you aren’t a dickhead. This is a welcoming, respectful space where everyone is treated as a peer, not ranked by gender, race, followers or revenue.

Meet your host, Ilaria Sambi

Hey! I’m Ilaria and I’ll be your host!

I’m an efficiency consultant, founder of Work Less. I help entrepreneurs create a business they can take a break from.

I see a common pattern with entrepreneurs in different industries and stages: too many business decisions rely on them, so they are overworked and feel trapped in a cage they built for themselves.

At the Work Less event, we’ll talk about the un-sexy stuff that makes your business run smoothly (systems and operations) but you’ll also hear from business owners who are growing brilliantly, by doing things differently.
