Attending the Chief of Staff Connect conference was a highly valuable way to connect with others in the role. It was a practical, engaging way to learn from and connect with the best. I not only left with a treasure trove of best practices but also gained a network of like-minded peers.

Overall great conference. I most appreciated the time to network and learn from fellow CoS's, particularly the day 1 problem solving session.

Interactive Talk & Workshop – 3:45pm
The Human Side of AI Transformation
Too many AI transformation efforts stall not because the strategy is wrong, but because the people behind it aren’t aligned. Organizations are powered by humans — curious, cautious, ambitious, and sometimes resistant — who need more than dashboards and comms plans to embrace change.
Real transformation depends on helping individuals and teams navigate uncertainty, shift assumptions, and build trust in new ways of working.
