Tech Chicago Week 2026 - The AI Workforce Shift: How AI Will Change Employment
June 24, 2026
This interactive event combines marketing, consulting, and the law to create a trifecta of insight designed to help businesses navigate the rapidly evolving field of AI. The panel will feature professionals from all three industries who have hands-on experience guiding clients through growth, innovation, and strategic decision-making in an AI-driven economy. Expected topics include risk, ownership, and accountability; where AI is working (and where it is not); how AI will augment and replace jobs; the evolving talent landscape; and what smart companies can do now to prepare for the future. A portion of the event will be dedicated to audience questions and discussion. The panel will be followed by an on-site happy hour and networking reception.
