2026 HR Lab – Inside the AI Playbook

2026 HR Lab – Inside the AI Playbook: Real Ideas, Real Stories, Real Transformation

Leaders and employees alike are consumed by the pace of AI transformation and the noise that comes with countless new tools and possibilities. This event brings HR and business/tech leaders together to share honest stories from their AI journeys, what worked, what failed, what they rebuilt, and what surprised them.

Attendees will learn:

• How organizations are turning AI into real products and real competitive advantage

• Where talent and capability gaps are emerging, and how HR is responding

• How internal communication and change strategies help accelerate adoption

• What the messy middle of AI transformation actually looks like inside an organization

• How leaders are balancing speed to market with employee readiness and long-term strategy

This is not a traditional panel. It is a practical, behind-the-scenes look at AI transformation designed to help leaders cut through the noise, make smarter decisions, and understand how these lessons apply to their own business.

Registration is $30 per ticket, and all proceeds will go directly to Washburn Center for Children.
