What to Bring:
One Pearl of Wisdom — one thing you've done in the last 24 months around redesigning work for AI that actually moved the business. One sentence is enough.
What to Expect:
- Cluster into one of four pillars — AI Adoption at Scale, Supervising AI New Hires, Reimagining Workflows, or Reskilling & Redeployment. Sit where your Pearl of Wisdom fits.
- Sharpen your candidate essay with peers — 90-second share, group presses on business impact
- Cross-pillar exchange — hear what other people leaders are working through and how they'd frame yours
- Author commitments captured live — walk out with a working title and a slot in the book
- Preview the co-authoring path — seasoned contributors paired with emerging voices.
Format: Informal, drop-in, interactive. The book will be 28 essays — seven in each of four pillars. Milwaukee is where the first cluster gets locked in.
Space is limited to keep the working exchange meaningful.
