SUMMARY:The Hague City Connect | IABC EMENA
DESCRIPTION:Bridging AI and Human Connection: Guiding Hybrid Teams to Align and Thrive \nAs AI transforms the workplace\, communication leaders are uniquely positioned to guide organisations through the ethical and responsible adoption of new technologies. \nIn hybrid work environments\, AI offers powerful opportunities to enhance collaboration\, engagement\, and connection—but only when used thoughtfully to support trust\, inclusion\, and shared purpose. \nThis roundtable discussion will explore the pivotal role communication leaders play in shaping the future of work.
