AI wont replace you, but knowing how to use it might set you apart. Come along to hear from our speakers on how you can make AI work for you

Are you worried that AI is closing the door to tech before you have even got in? Are you already in the industry and wondering how to stay relevant? Then this session is for you!

AI is changing how tech professionals work, but it is a tool in your hands not a replacement for you. The people who will thrive are the ones who understand how to work with it.

We are bringing together experienced professionals from across the industry for an honest discussion about what AI actually means for your career, whether you are trying to break in, are trying to find your feet in your first few years or are trying to adapt. They will share their own journeys about what helped them, the challenges they faced and how they are using AI to work smarter rather than fearing it.

Speaker line-up coming soon!

Key takeaways:

A clear-eyed take on AI and your career, cut through the hype and understand where AI genuinely helps

Practical ways to stay relevant, honest advice on the skills, mindset and transferrable strengths that matter most no matter what stage you are at

Networking with like-minded professionals, meet others navigating the same questions and build a supportive network

Whether you're tech-curious, early in your journey, or just need a reason not to give up we'd love to see you there.
