Breakfast and Networking:

Keynote | Tomorrow, Reimagined—Possible Worlds in the Age of AI

What might life and work look like when AI becomes radically more capable? In this keynote, a futurist will invite participants into a series of bold, plausible futures and challenge today’s assumptions about value, purpose, productivity, and human connection.

Moving beyond prediction, the session will help participants imagine the choices embedded in each future. What work remains distinctly human? Where should AI lead, assist, or not be used at all? How might organizations create more personalized, meaningful, and delightful experiences—while preserving human agency, trust, and accountability?

This opening experience will establish the shared scenarios that anchor the day’s conversations about organizational design, leadership, talent, and readiness.

Panel | Designing the AI-Ready Organization: Operating Models, Roles, and Capabilities

Hear from practitioners and experts navigating how AI is reshaping organizational structures, decision-making, talent needs, and ways of working. The session will surface design choices leaders can consider as they build adaptable, human-centered organizations.

Small group discussion | From Insight to Action: Preparing Your Organization for an AI-Driven Future

In facilitated small groups, participants will translate the morning’s ideas into implications for their own organizations. They will identify priority opportunities, organizational readiness gaps, and one or two concrete actions to advance in the months ahead.
