This event features two engaging sessions:
AI Now, Next Never: What HR Leaders Need To Know
AI is no longer a technology question. It is a leadership question, and HR sits at the centre of it. Guest speaker Ramy Nassar, cuts through the hype to give HR professionals a clear, practical framework for understanding what AI can do now, what’s coming next, and where human judgment will always matter most.
Through this session you will:
- Gain a practical framework for evaluating AI tools and making informed decisions about adoption across core HR functions.
- Understand how AI is reshaping HR roles and skills, and how to position HR as a driver of workforce transformation rather than a reactor to it.
- Learn approaches for applying AI responsibly in HR contexts, knowing where automation adds value and where human judgment remains essential.
