Tech and People Network and PeopleOps Victoria is excited to be bringing this event to the Victoria Community. Thank you VIATEC for hosting and Redbrick for providing the snacks! The world of work is shifting. Fast. AI is changing how we hire, how we manage, and how people experience work. Companies are experimenting. Employees are adapting. New legislation is on the horizon. And yet… attracting and retaining great people is still one of the hardest problems leaders are facing. So let’s talk about it. No panels. No buzzwords. No fluff Just an honest, facilitated conversation with thoughtful peers who are navigating these changes in real time. This isn’t about selling AI or fearing it. It’s about sharing lived experiences, challenging assumptions, and surfacing the hot takes you won’t find in a LinkedIn carousel. We’ll explore questions like: • Where is AI actually helping (and hurting) attraction, engagement, and retention? • How are TA and P&C leaders balancing efficiency with trust, fairness, and the human experience? • What should we really be paying attention to as AI-related legislation around Recruiting and Privacy evolves? • What are we getting wrong—or right—about the future of people at work? Format A facilitated, informal roundtable discussion. We’ll set the context, offer a few prompts, and open the floor for discussion. Expect candid conversation, diverse perspectives, and practical insights you can take back to your team Who it’s for People leaders, Talent professionals, HR partners, and operators in tech who want less theory and more real-world conversation about how AI is actually shaping work today. This event is designed for practitioners exploring how to apply these tools from an operational perspective. While AI is certainly impacting job seekers, this session is focused on those working within organizations to implement and navigate these changes, and isn’t intended for individuals looking to better understand AI from a job seeker perspective
