Elevating AI operations through emerging technologies has long been a priority for HR leaders looking to free up time with more efficient processes and better support employee onboarding, development, and growth. With the evolving capacity of generative AI tools, many HR leaders are finding themselves wondering how the technology can serve a role in their operations more effectively. In particular, where can tools like AI and automation play a role in talent management whether that’s from onboarding all the way to career mapping and learning and development? Join HR Brew as we sit down with the people management leaders responsible for decision-making around tech strategy and the practitioners utilizing the tools, to hear advice and best practices for reforming team roles, reconsidering how to leverage new technology, and, ultimately, how to free up people’s time for, well, more people things. Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Back to basics - starting with the right foundation: Whether you’re set on AI, or exploring another emerging technology to build a more effective HR operation, what are the key building blocks you should have available to ensure your success? Hear from human management experts for their advice on maintaining a quality data infrastructure for smooth integration of any new technology into existing HR systems. Discuss the skills necessary for bringing on AI tools and how to prepare your workforce for the next step.
  • Applying AI to your work: Explore the areas HR leaders are already integrating AI into their job function through automated skill gap analysis, targeted upskilling recommendations, personalized learning and career paths, and more to better understand where your team might benefit immediately and what is better suited for a long term strategy. Hear recommendations on the areas in which AI assists HR teams planning ahead with predictive attrition models, data-driven retention strategies, and workforce planning and talent forecasting.
  • Ethical considerations: Maintaining transparency in AI decision-making processes, ensuring employee privacy and data protection, and balancing automation with the human touch in employee interactions are all critical elements of bringing AI on board to any workflow. Hear best practices and lessons learned from HR leaders developing AI government frameworks for HR practices and how they’ve addressed concerns about the technology integration in their roles.
  • Change management: Integrating AI into HR processes is as much about technology as it is about people. This event will delve into the critical aspects of change management necessary for AI adoption. We’ll explore effective strategies for introducing AI tools to your HR team and the broader organization, ensuring a smooth transition and maximizing buy-in. Hear expert advice about building digital literacy and AI skills, common challenges to avoid and how to overcome resistance for a collaborative redesign of your HR practices.

Opening Remarks

9:05 - 9:25 AM

The Future of Work: Whose Job is it Anyway?

From workforce expectations to individual workflows, AI adoption is promising to touch every corner of work. The question is no longer about if leaders should act, but who should own the responsibility. Is AI strategy the domain of the CTO, the CHRO, the COO, or does it call for a brand new seat at the table entirely? This opening session unpacks the tug-of-war over accountability, exploring what’s at stake for business outcomes, employee trust and organizational resilience when the lines of ownership aren’t clear.

Back to Basics: Starting with the Right Foundation

Hear from human management and technology experts for their advice on the steps required before implementing or onboarding a new AI tool or platform, including quality data infrastructure, a legitimate process improvement goal, and necessary skills to keep it sustainable.

10:10 - 10:25 AM

Which Regulations Matter to Me? Tips for Compliance and Future-Proofing Amidst Chaos

The emerging regulatory frameworks – albeit patchwork in nature – are forcing organizations to start implementing fairly robust systems of AI governance, but without a recognized standard, it can be challenging to understand where to start. This presentation provides best practices given today’s standards to lead a compliant and well governed AI system.

10:25 - 10:45 AM

Coffee & Networking Break

10:45 - 11:10 AM

Applying AI to Your Work

As AI becomes a core part of how organizations operate, the real differentiator lies not in how teams are adopting new technologies but how they are managing their workforce to use them effectively. In this session, HR leaders and workforce strategists share case studies on how organizations are tackling AI literacy, reskilling, and upskilling at scale. Hear tangible takeaways about both the quick wins and long term solutions powered by AI.

11:10 - 11:35 AM

Is the Interview Dead? Rethinking AI’s Role in Hiring

AI-powered tools promise to streamline hiring, but they’ve also sparked skepticism — from Gen Z candidates questioning fairness to HR leaders questioning ROI. So, are we really approaching the end of traditional resumes, cover letters, and interviews, or is the truth more nuanced? In this conversation, you’ll hear from both practitioners and innovators who are reshaping talent acquisition. Together we’ll discuss how forward thinking organizations are deciding what should stay human in hiring and what AI can truly enhance.

11:35 AM - 12:00 PM

Leading with Clarity: Trust and Transparency for Transformation

As AI accelerates change across every industry, one truth has become clear: technology alone won’t determine success — leadership will. Employees are looking to their leaders not just for direction, but for honesty, transparency, and reassurance in the face of uncertainty. This closing session offers a candid conversation about what it really takes to lead through transformation. We’ll explore practical strategies for addressing fears head-on, fostering trust through clear communication, and guiding teams with confidence as work continues to evolve. Walk away with a playbook for leading with clarity tomorrow — and building the kind of resilient culture that can adapt to whatever comes next.

12:00 - 12:30 PM
