AI unhyped : real stories of AI at different companies

AI is part of our industry whether we like it or not but much of what we hear is hype, doom or sales pitches. Outside of these extremes are people using AI sensibly and pragmatically in engineering teams and beyond.

Our four speakers are all seniors in tech and will share their stories and experience of AI across different contexts.

1. Research insights and tips for rolling out AI, and AI use by engineering teams

💎 Lauren Peate, Founder and CEO at Multitudes

2. AI use in Recruitment, HR and beyond

💎 Heather Polaschek, Head of People & Performance at RUSH

3. Product and AI with Auror's Responsible Tech and AI framework

💎 Chardi Taylor, Director of Product at Auror

4. AI Adoption in Development for a high-tech product

💎 Lisa Wong, Senior Solution Architect (AI) at Crown Equipment

You'll hear how they approached AI in their workplaces, their lessons learnt and tips, and gains that have made a difference.

This event is for you whether you're new in your AI journey, or have experience - it's a space to learn, connect, and share.

After the talks, we’ll have time for casual chats over drinks and snacks. No pressure, no panels—just real stories, smart people, and great conversation.

Arrive from 5:30pm, talks start at 6pm, event ends at 8pm.
