Beyond the Buzzword - Dallas

About this event

You've heard about AI agents. Now it's time to build one.

Join Reframing HR and Fountain for Beyond the Buzzword , an exclusive, hands-on breakfast workshop for CHROs and senior HR leaders at the W Dallas.

We're bringing together just 20 senior HR leaders for a morning of learning, experimenting and connecting with peers who are figuring out what AI means for their organizations.

And we're doing something different. Instead of another presentation about what AI agents could do, you'll open your laptop and build one yourself, step by step, using a real HR scenario.

You'll leave with something you've actually built, a firsthand understanding of how AI agents work, and new ideas for what this technology could mean for your team.

No endless slides. No sitting on the sidelines. Just real learning, good company and breakfast!

Who Should Join

This experience is designed for CHROs, CPOs, VPs, Directors and Heads of HR, Talent Acquisition, HR Operations, Employee Experience, Talent Management and People Transformation who want to get closer to the technology shaping the future of their function.

You don't need to be a technologist. You just need to be curious and ready to experiment.
