Staying Human in the Age of AI:

Harnessing Human Connection for the Future of Work

Without question, artificial intelligence is shaping the future of work. But in this rush to embrace AI, we're racing to automate everything from customer service to creative work. But amidst the tech gold rush, something essential is getting lost: the irreplaceable power of human connection, creativity, and emotional intelligence. While AI promises efficiency and scale, it's those human moments at work—a thoughtful conversation, an intuitive understanding, a compassionate leader—that truly drive innovation, build trust, and create lasting impact.

Attendees will explore:

How to build authentic relationships in a digital workplace

Why emotional intelligence is becoming a competitive advantage

A human-first leadership model that strengthens teams and well-being
