About this event

AI is changing the way we work — and it's no longer just a topic for technologists. Join She Sharp and Les Mills for an inspiring conversation about how AI is creating opportunities across every function, from technology and data to communications, legal, finance, and commercial leadership. Through a panel of cross-functional leaders driving AI transformation in their fields, we'll explore the practical realities of adopting AI, the mindset shifts required to embrace change, and the skills that will help people thrive in an AI-enabled future.

You'll hear perspectives from experts across technology, change management, commercial strategy, and legal, before joining interactive table discussions on how individuals and organisations can drive positive change with AI. Whether you're a developer, marketer, lawyer, analyst, people leader, or simply curious about where AI is heading, this event is designed to challenge the idea that AI belongs to one department. The future of work will be shaped by people from every background — and we believe AI is now everyone's job. Come ready to learn, connect, and be inspired by the many pathways into the next generation of careers.
