09:00 AM – 12:15 PM | Small group discussion | AI Journeys In small groups of peers, attendees will introduce themselves and share key learnings from AI implementation work in their organizations and key questions they are focused on today. Keynote | Tomorrow, Reimagined—Possible Worlds in the Age of AI Molly Sands: Head of the Teamwork Lab, Atlassian What might life and work look like when AI becomes radically more capable? In this keynote, a futurist will invite participants into a series of bold, plausible futures and challenge today’s assumptions about value, purpose, productivity, and human connection. Moving beyond prediction, the session will help participants imagine the choices embedded in each future. What work remains distinctly human? Where should AI lead, assist, or not be used at all? How might organizations create more personalized, meaningful, and delightful experiences—while preserving human agency, trust, and accountability? This opening experience will establish the shared scenarios that anchor the day’s conversations about organizational design, leadership, talent, and readiness. CHRO Panel | From AI Readiness to Organizational Action: What We Learned This Year and What’s Next Heather Houston: Chief People Officer, Life360 Keynote | Leading Through the AI Fog Mary Kate Stimmler: Consultant/Lecturer, UC Berkeley This keynote explores major AI adoption frameworks alongside real-world examples of company successes and failures.

01:00 PM – 05:00 PM | Keynote | Beyond the Builder Era: Reimagining the Human Experience of Work in an Agentic Future Catherine Coffin: Director of Foresight and Competitive Intelligence, Salesforce The hardest part of the agentic future may not be building better AI. It may be redesigning organizations for a world where humans are no longer the only ones doing the work or making decisions. As agents become part of everyday work, leaders will face new questions about accountability, trust, talent, and human judgment. Drawing on research from the Salesforce Work Innovation Lab, this keynote explores how organizations must evolve as human and digital labor converge—and the choices leaders can make now to ensure AI expands human agency, opportunity, and meaningful work rather than eroding them. Panel | Designing the AI-Ready Organization: Operating Models, Roles, and Capabilities Alec Levenson, Ph.D.: Director and Senior Research Scientist, USC Marshall Center for Effective Organizations (CEO) Hear from practitioners and experts navigating how AI is reshaping organizational structures, decision-making, talent needs, and ways of working. The session will surface design choices leaders can consider as they build adaptable, human-centered organizations. Small-Group Discussion | From Possibility to Practice: Your 90-Day AI Readiness Commitment In peer groups, participants reflect on the day’s future scenarios, CPO’s reflections, workforce innovations, and organizational-design insights and share what from today’s summit has been most insightful and how they plan to apply the learnings to what they are solving in their organizations. The goal is to leave with one clear priority, a practical first step, and a commitment to move it forward. AI Collab Frameworks, Models, and Practitioner Experience |
