Opening Keynote
The rules are being rewritten: How bold leaders win in the AI era
Forget the old playbook. AI just tore it up. The competitive edge now is skills: how people get hired, grow, and move inside companies is being rebuilt around what they can do and how quickly they can learn. Hiring and learning are being reinvented in real time, and standing still means falling behind. This keynote isn’t about theory; it’s about what it really takes to win. You’ll walk away with the five superskills every leader needs to thrive in the AI era. CodeSignal CEO Tigran Sloyan will pull back the curtain on our skills-first vision and roadmap, revealing how we’re building the future of talent—and why now is the moment to lead it.
10:30–11:00am
Peer Playbook
Dropbox’s expert playbook: Raising the bar with AI
For Dropbox, rigor in hiring isn’t optional; it’s the standard. To maintain it, the team recently had to confront two tough questions: Why ban AI in assessments when engineers use it every day? And why keep interviewer training stuck in endless shadowing when it holds back scale? Eric Trickett, VP of Global Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning, will share how Dropbox answered with AI-assisted coding assessments and AI-powered interviewer training, and offer a playbook for anyone ready to raise the bar with AI in their own hiring process.

Session
The future of the superworker: Why it's HR's moment in the sun
AI is transforming every company, but the real story isn’t technology—it’s people. Jobs are shifting faster than job descriptions, and only HR can lead the way by making skills the thread through hiring, development, and mobility. Kathi Enderes, SVP at The Josh Bersin Company, will share how HR can use AI as an empowerment tool to unlock “superworkers” and guide the enterprise through this transformation.
12:00–12:30pm
Peer Playbook
Zillow’s playbook for winning AI buy-in
You can’t flip a switch on AI. It takes trust, proof, and momentum. Shahbaz Ali, Senior Director at Zillow, will share how his team turned fear into confidence across a number of projects, from automated scheduling to AI interviews for loan officers. Walk away with the plays to cut through skepticism and drive real AI change in your org.

How leaders are navigating AI’s messy reality—and making it work
The AI era is messy—legally, ethically, and operationally—but avoiding it may be the bigger gamble. In this session, Kyle Lagunas, founder of Kyle & Co and leader of the Human-Centric AI Council, unpacks what responsible adoption looks like when the rules are still being written. Drawing on new AI readiness and maturity survey data and his work advising talent leaders, Kyle shares how to navigate complexity, protect people, and strategies that are working in the real-world.

No panels, no theory. Just candid conversation with a small group, real-world problem solving, and a 60-day action plan you’ll design and take with you.
