The AI Learning Reality check - Brighteye pre-Unleash Breakfast
Calling all HR & L&D leaders to join us for a pre-Unleash breakfast in Paris, just before it all starts at the Paris Convention Centre on Wednesday 21 October 2026.
At the «The AI Learning reality check» event, we will explore what HR and L&D leaders wish AI learning providers understood - and what the builders wish the buyers knew.
Expect honest conversations with the buyer; the Global AI & Learning Director at L'Oréal, deploying AI learning at massive scale, and with the builders shipping the products; sherpa, building the ‘first agentic-native external workforce platform,’ bringing autonomous AI agents to the management of contingent labour and services spend, and Shakers, the home of Europe's AI builders, where companies find the best talent in tech, product and AI to carry out tech-based projects more quickly, conveniently and cheaply - moderated by us at Brighteye, the backer.
Hear L'Oréal's deployment story, including change management, AI adoption and enablement in L&D and what can break, followed by Shakers and Sherpa's journey and what they see enterprises ask for vs what actually gets used, with Brighteye adding what the Fund sees across its portfolio on AI-learning adoption, budget shifts and what's working vs hype.
Register now to meet the community and have a nice breakfast before diving into two busy days at the main conference!
On "stage:"
L'Oréal, bringing the enterprise reality: skills-based career paths, what reskilling for an agentic workplace looks like at scale, and how they keep people motivated.
Shakers, the home of Europe's AI builders, where companies find the best talent in tech, product and AI to carry out tech-based projects more quickly, conveniently and cheaply - on what "career progression" means as they've moved from freelance matching to full workforce orchestration - assembling teams that blend human freelancers with AI agents on complex projects, while explicitly building freelancers real careers.
Sherpa, building the ‘first agentic-native external workforce platform’, bringing autonomous AI agents to the management of contingent labour and services (SOW) spend - on running external workforce programs end-to-end, routing tasks to employees, freelancers, or AI agents and handling governance and payment across all three - and what that leaves for humans to grow into.
Brighteye, on backing early-stage European founders shaping tomorrow's HumanOS - enabling people to learn, work & adapt.
