Lunch & Learn: Strengthening Human Connection in the AI Era

What it means for how we design, build and lead
As artificial intelligence transforms the way we work, human connection is becoming an even greater competitive advantage. Join Julia Kanter of Zillow on Tuesday, September 1, as she explores how leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators can intentionally design products, workplaces and experiences that foster trust, empathy and meaningful relationships in an AI-driven world. You’ll leave with practical insights to help your organization build technology without losing sight of the people it serves.
Lunch and networking begin at 11:45 a.m., and the panel discussion will take place from noon to 1 p.m. at KU Innovation Park’s Phase III Facility, 2033 Becker Drive.
This event is free, but registration is required as lunch will be provided. Please register below. The event is open to anyone. You do not have to work for a Park company to attend. If you register and are no longer able to attend, please let us know.
