WHAT WE DISCUSSED

AI is transforming HR, and if you’re not sure how, you’re not alone. Participants joined AI-forward leaders for a candid conversation on navigating AI in HR, from practical applications to stakeholder engagement and beyond.

This exclusive roundtable was your opportunity to explore, share, and learn about what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next with peers who are actively shaping the future of pay.

What to expect:

    • Share what’s top of mind in a pre-event survey to help guide the discussion
    • Learn from fellow industry leaders who are already putting AI to work in HR — including tested strategies, lessons learned, and how to secure buy-in
    • A sneak peek of Syndio’s new AI-native Intelligent Pay and get all your questions answered on how it works, what sets it apart, and why it matters
    • Enjoy dinner on us
