Melbourne Talent Meetup #27 – “Equipping Yourself for the AI World”

Welcome Message from the MTM Team

About the Meetup Event

Are you looking to get ahead of the curve on AI and understand its impact on your work?

Then you don’t want to miss our next Melbourne Talent Meetup on May 23rd. We’ll help you equip yourself for the AI World with heaps of practical insights to take home.

Because one thing is obvious…

With AI sweeping every industry, the question is no longer if it will impact your job, but how and when.

And, we know we always say this, but we have a more important role than ever. It’s clearly on us to help business leaders and hiring managers navigate this transformational period.

What’s not always so obvious is the question of how to get started.

We’re super excited to have Julian Bright and David Yip join us that night. Both expert speakers will share their views on the timely topic and dive into:

The history of AI and the rise of generative AI - and what it means for teams in the talent space
How AI tools and technologies can help you streamline your workflows
Practical strategies for managing the flood of applications driven by AI-powered job search tools
Tools to help talent teams scale hiring
How we can help the business understand the kind of skills we need in the future
What our teams need to do to upskill for the changing landscape
An outlook of what global innovators are doing

Whether you're an experienced professional in the Talent and HR space or entirely new to the field, the meetup is a must-attend for anyone looking to future-proof their career and lead the way in their organisation. And that’s you, right?
