Let’s be honest—two years ago, AI was a buzzword. Now, it’s showing up in our workflows, our inboxes, and our exec meetings. But while the hype machine has been focused on job replacement, most internal communicators are asking something more grounded:

What do I really need to do differently? What should I be learning?

This session is for the realists. The ones in the trenches trying to balance strategy with daily execution, clarity with speed, and human connection with machine learning.

We’ll get into:

• The three most important skills comms leaders need right now
• What happens when AI helps—and what happens when it totally misses the mark
• How to build trust and authenticity at scale, without losing your voice
• How to bring your team (and leaders) along when they’re feeling behind or overwhelmed

This is a working session for communicators who care about people, context, and impact—and want to future-proof their role without selling their soul.

Whether you’re a cautious observer, a curious explorer, or already experimenting with AI tools, you’ll leave with:

• A framework for upskilling that’s human-centered and doable
• A gut-check on what’s working (and not) from peers in the field
• Permission to ask the messy questions—and answer them together

Let’s cut through the noise, get honest, and figure out where we go from here. Together.
