Who is this event for?
HR professionals who are curious about using AI in their day-to-day work, not as an extra job, but as a way to cut down on admin and get better results.

Why should they attend this event?

It’s designed around real HR tasks and workplace constraints, so you’ll come away with repeatable ways to work faster while staying safe, accurate and compliant.

Barry Phillips is a qualified lawyer, trainer and coach. He’s trained hundreds of HR professionals on how to use GenAI at work and is the author of “ChatGPT in HR – A Practical Guide for Employers and HR Professionals.”
