Event details:
Time: 10:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Audience: HR Professionals that are curious and want to work with AI
Cost: $350 per person
A beginner-friendly, human-first deep dive into how AI can amplify—not replace—HR’s value.
Our facilitators know AI, and they know HR. They have been there, done that and learned a lot along the way!
This is exactly why our AI x HR workshop stands apart: it’s built by practitioners, not theorists. Grounded in real-world application, not hype. Join us to explore how AI can be harnessed responsibly, ethically, and effectively in your people strategy.
The brave ones are asking the right questions:
💡 How do we protect people without blocking progress?
💡 How do we experiment and stay ethical?
💡 How do we lead our orgs through change — with clarity, heart, and impact?
If you’re done waiting for “best practices” that never arrive, join us
Objective :
To create a safe, grounded space for HR leaders to explore AI without hype, pressure, or jargon. This is your starting point:
Build AI literacy without needing to become a tech expert
Understand how to work with AI—ethically, practically, and people-first
Explore how AI can elevate the human impact of HR, not erase it
Leave with real tools, a 90-day action plan, and the confidence to lead this conversation in your business
We will empower HR professionals to embrace AI in ways that are ethical, strategic, and people-centred — not just tech for tech’s sake.
We'll tackle the big questions you’re actually asking
