New technologies are developing at pace, and organisations need to embrace these changes in their working practices if they are to stay competitive and relevant.
Join Shoosmiths at their in person Annual People Conference 2024 where they will delve into how attitudes to work are changing and what this means for employers not just now but in the years to come. They will discuss what A.I. means for your business and how it is changing the playing field, what the pros and cons are and what steps employers should be taking now to future proof their business. They will also look at the current legal framework affecting the adoption of technology at work and how this might change with future regulation.
The conference will take place at Shoosmiths' offices in London, where registration will be open from 09:30 with the conference starting at 10:00 and finishing with an early evening drinks reception from 16:30.
Guest speakers include David Rowan – a leading speaker on how emerging technologies will impact business, our very own Neil Ross, Associate Director for Policy, techUK and Siân Harrington from PeopleSpace.
Shoosmiths' employment specialists will also be on hand throughout the day and will assist in ensuring the sessions are interactive, giving you the opportunity to share experiences and engage with your peers on all things connected to AI and the Future of Work.
