A conference experience before the conference even begins
This preconference workshop is a microcosm of what makes a great conference experience so powerful. You will connect with others, share stories, explore ideas, solve challenges together, and experience the kind of human interaction that can lead to real insight, inspiration, and momentum.
ABOUT THEÂ WORKSHOP
BUILD YOUR AI-CHANGE NETWORK
Forge meaningful connections with fellow leaders and exchange real-world challenges, ideas, and solutions.
LEAD THE HUMAN SIDE OF AI CHANGE
Build the mindset and confidence to help people navigate uncertainty, adapt, and turn AI-driven change into action.
LEAVE WITH PRACTICAL TOOLS
Practice design thinking, facilitation, and innovation techniques to immediately apply with your team and organization.
Many AI sessions focus almost entirely on the technology. This workshop centers on the human side of change: the mindsets, relationships, and collaborative muscles leaders need to guide organizations through rapid AI adoption without losing the culture that makes people thrive.

The preconference session was amazing! From building LEGO creations and drawing pictures to gathering around a ‘campfire’ to introduce ourselves, every activity was designed to get us interacting and connecting in meaningful ways. It was engaging, creative, and such a fantastic way to kick off the conference!

"Dr. Eich had us engaged from the very first minute. I walked away with so many practical facilitation tools, fresh insights, and even AI strategies I can apply to elevate my own work. One exercise, ‘What the Duck?!’, completely changed the way I think about approaching challenges with fresh eyes. The entire experience was engaging, practical, and immediately applicable."
