About this Event
Lighting the Fire: IC is the catalyst that can spark AI adoption at scale - are you ready for it?
Our 10th June breakfast session is designed specifically for internal communications professionals who are grappling with the AI agenda and want to understand how they can start influencing AI adoption across the business - and what it means for the future of the IC role itself.
We’ll explore how comms teams can start adapting, reduce fear, encourage safe experimentation, support leadership role‑modelling and build momentum that spreads beyond the early enthusiasts.
If you’re responsible for shaping how change lands, not just how it’s announced, and want to put your IC team firmly in the strategic seat this session is for you.
We’ll explore whether;
- AI will really ‘take our jobs’ - or simply reshape them for those who embrace it
- Why internal comms has a bigger role to play than ever in shaping culture and change
And how you can…
- Shift AI from fear or hype to practical everyday value
- Build momentum through early adopter stories and peer influence
- Help leaders show credible AI use, not just talk about it
- Support the move from experimentation to business-wide transformation
This is a must‑attend for internal comms professionals navigating AI‑driven change.
This event is aimed at IC practitioners and not third parties/suppliers.
Light breakfast is included.
