Global HR in Transition: Aligning Speed, Integrity & Scale in the Age of AI
The AI era is transforming work — and HR is right in the middle of the shift.
While product and leadership teams are moving fast to embed AI into tools and operations, People leaders are being asked to match that speed — while still safeguarding equity, compliance, and employee trust. How can they respond not by slowing things down, but by helping move in the right direction?
Join us for Global HR in Transition: New York Edition, a morning conversation designed for HR, Legal, and People leaders navigating the complexity of global employment in the AI age. We’ll share practical tools for evaluating HR tech, explore how leaders across legal, marketing, and operations are working with — and around — AI, and hold space for the real tensions between innovation and responsibility.
This event is designed for senior People and HR leaders who are:
✅ Fielding AI-related pressure from the wider business
✅ Managing legal risk, bias, and compliance in tooling decisions
✅ Scaling globally while upholding ethical standards
✅ Seeking community and frameworks to make smart, human-first decisions
