Following a brilliant first year, the Head Resourcing Talking Data and AI webinar series is back for its second year bringing you inside stories from the people using AI and data to solve real business problems, not just talk theory.
Across the series, we’ll explore what it really takes to move from AI ambition to impact, from enterprise pilots that never make it into production, to agentic operating systems, adaptive digital experiences and the leadership needed to make AI work in practice.
We’ll be joined by an expert speaker line-up including;
⭐ John Brodie, Founder and CEO of Kallidin AI
⭐ Col MacKenzie, VP AI Engineering at Multiverse
⭐ Gary Crawford, Chief Advisor at Owendale Advisory.
