The rise of artificial intelligence is the great story of our time. AI is leaving the laboratory (and the movie lot) and infusing itself into every aspect of our lives at record speed. This includes our work – and your job. In the next ten years work is going to change more than it has in the last hundred; when machines do everything there will still be lots for humans to do, but it won’t be the work we’re doing today.
In this one day conference, experts from Cognizant’s Center for the Future of Work will join with AI practitioners, academics, and industry analysts to explore and analyze the jobs of the future and present actionable advice and guidance on how you and your organization can be prepared to leverage the incredible new opportunities intelligent machines are generating. And stop being left behind in markets transforming quicker than ever.
Sharp insights, great conversation, provocative ideas, and networking opportunities galore.Â

Now that robots have arrived to take on our knowledge work, why the impending sense of doom that the future work is under immense threat? Our must-attend event makes sense of this disconnect. We hope that you will join us.
