The future of HR leadership won’t be decided by who talks best about AI but by who can actually build with it. In this interactive session, CHROs will move beyond theory and design an AI agent in real time to solve a pressing HR or business challenge. Guided by senior IBM leaders, you’ll see how quickly HR can innovate when experimentation replaces hesitation. Participants will be coached step by step to design workflows, orchestrate agents, and apply intelligent automation back in their organizations immediately.

How to confidently design, build, and deploy AI agents that solve real workforce and business challenges—giving HR the technical credibility and execution power needed to lead in an AI-driven enterprise.
