AI-Driven Workforce Transformation

LIVE DINNER
17 March 2026, North America - LA 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm BST
In partnership
Horsefly

Dinner Location: The Palm

AI is no longer just changing how work gets done, it’s redefining what work exists. For people and talent leaders, this creates a new kind of pressure. AI is reshaping Roles, skill requirements, and the line between reskilling internally and sourcing externally is blurred.

Many organizations are discovering that AI adoption stalls not because the technology isn’t ready, but because workforce decisions can’t keep pace. Leaders need visibility into which roles are being augmented versus fundamentally redesigned. They need to know whether emerging skills can be built internally, and where external labor markets can meet demand. Without decision-ready workforce intelligence, build-versus-buy choices become slow and risky.

Join peers and Horsefly Analytics thought leaders for dinner and discussion on AI-driven workforce transformation. Together, we’ll discuss how AI is fundamentally reshaping job roles, skill requirements, and the speed at which workforce capabilities need to evolve.
