AI & The Future of Work: From Insight to Action

Presented by the Kellogg Club of DFW, Wharton Club of Dallas, Stanford GSB Club of Dallas, and IIT Alumni Association of DFW

What will work actually look like in 2030? And what should leaders be doing about it now?

AI is already reshaping how organizations operate, how decisions get made, and what it takes to compete. The next few years will bring even greater change across business functions, roles, and careers. On Saturday, October 24, four of DFW's leading alumni communities are coming together for the inaugural AI & The Future of Work Summit, bringing senior leaders, executives, founders, and practitioners into one room to move the conversation from insight to action.

This is not another conference about the promise of AI.It's a working summit designed to examine what's changing, share what leaders are learning in practice, and explore the decisions organizations need to be making now.

More Than a One-Day Event

The summit is designed to be the beginning of something larger.

By bringing together the Kellogg, Wharton, Stanford GSB, and IIT alumni communities, we're creating new connections across schools, industries, and functions and laying the groundwork for continued peer learning around the future of work.
