## Speakers

- **Ian Beacraft** — CEO
- **Christiane Pelajo** — Anchor and reporter
- **Michelle Schneider** — Workforce Futurist & Author

In this 30-minute keynote, Michelle Schneider explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping not just jobs, but the very architecture of work. Moving beyond the simplistic narrative of “automation versus humans,” she examines how tasks are being reorganized, how expertise is being redefined, and what it truly means to design work in the age of intelligent systems.

Drawing on two decades leading high-performing teams at global technology companies and her current work at the frontier of AI transformation, Michelle offers a clear and provocative framework for understanding what comes next — and how leaders can prepare.


Following the keynote, Michelle will be joined by Ian Beacraft and journalist Cris Pelajo for a core conversation, expanding the dialogue and exploring practical, human-centered implications for organizations, workers, and society.
