Human x AI - Executive Roundtable in Cologne

How forward-thinking organizations create a culture of continuous learning and adaptability.

Sustainable business success is not driven by AI and new technologies alone. What truly matters is an organization’s ability to continuously learn, share knowledge, and navigate change effectively.

At this exclusive Executive Roundtable, senior HR and L&D leaders will discuss how people and AI can work together successfully in the workplace, and how organizations can become more learning-driven, agile, and future-ready.

Wednesday, 16. September, 9am, Dorint Hotel Messe, Cologne

Interested in participating?

See you there?

What happens when people and AI don’t just work alongside each other, but truly amplify each other’s strengths? At this Executive Roundtable, diverse experiences, perspectives, and ideas come together in an open exchange.

The conversation begins with short insights from leading organizations, before turning to the questions that matter most to HR and L&D leaders today. Expect practical discussions, honest perspectives, and a setting designed for meaningful dialogue and valuable connections.

Food and refreshments will, of course, be provided. Afterwards, there will be plenty of time to visit Zukunft Personal right next door. We’ll have a ticket ready for you.
