About this Event

From Fear to Future: AI in the Workplace Seminar
đź“… 28th April 2026, 10:00-12:00

📍 Bury St Edmunds RUFC

🗣️ Guest Speaker: Jules Rickman-Jenkins


We’re pleased to share that this event is proudly sponsored by KNP Litho & Turning Factor.


AI won’t replace your workforce, but organisations that use it effectively might.

AI is already reshaping how work is delivered, how decisions are made, and how organisations create competitive advantage.

However, for many organisations, uncertainty, misconceptions, and compliance concerns are holding progress back.

Insights from our previous event highlighted a clear divide in organisational readiness. Some are advancing quickly, while others remain at an early stage, often without full awareness of the risks or opportunities ahead.

This seminar reframes AI not simply as a technology, but as an emerging form of talent. One that can augment human capability, unlock productivity, and reshape how work gets done.


What we will explore

This isn’t about becoming technical experts. It’s about understanding how to lead AI in a way that works for your people and your organisation.

Through structured discussion, practical insight, and facilitated reflection, we will:

  • Improve understanding of responsible AI adoption
  • Explore approaches to future-proofing workforce capability
  • Clarify the role of HR as a strategic partner in AI-enabled transformation


Why this matters

AI integration isn’t just about technology. It is about culture.

Introducing AI changes how people work, make decisions, and collaborate. It requires a shift:

  • from fear to trust
  • from fixed roles to continuous learning
  • from “human vs machine” to “human + machine” collaboration

Without this cultural shift, even the best AI tools fail to deliver value.

This is why HR has a central role in enabling this transition, shaping organisational culture, building capability, guiding change, and ensuring appropriate governance and ethical application.


Who should attend

Senior leaders, HR professionals, and decision-makers who are looking to take a more strategic, confident approach to AI adoption.


This session will support leaders in moving beyond reactive approaches to AI, towards a more strategic and value-driven perspective on what comes next.
