Care Leaders Welcome with Microsoft Elevate & Gadali
Solving Care Together: Who’s in the driver’s seat?
Register for an executive afternoon for aged care and NDIS leaders, on the eve of the Ageing Australia National Conference.
As AI becomes more capable, the question for care providers is no longer just what it can do, but how much we’re prepared to let it decide and act on our behalf. Who’s in the driver’s seat when an AI agent books a client’s transport, flags a compliance risk, or helps a frontline worker make a call on the spot?
Before 3,500 delegates fill the ICC, Microsoft and Gadali are bringing together a small group of senior care leaders for a candid afternoon on that question. You’ve heard plenty about AI. This is a chance to see what’s already working in Australian care, hear it from your peers, and work through what it means for your own organisation.
