Are you an early adopter of AI? Or, are you a learning professional who recognizes that our industry will be forever changed by this evolving technology?

This month we are changing things up with a special guest speaker, Dr. David Swanagon, Editor in Chief of the Machine Leadership Journal.
The future of work requires leading machines, leading people who build machines, and leading organizations that adopt AI. On Friday, April 24 as we will discuss best practices for leading AI adoption within your organization.
