AI is rewriting every job description in Birmingham. Join local HR leaders for a panel on leading a workforce through the people revolution. Birmingham, the AI shift is rewriting every job description on your team — faster than most HR functions can track. Techs and the City is back at Workplay for "AI and HR: A People Revolution" — a community-driven night built for the people doing the work: HR leaders, people-ops operators, hiring managers, and the executives who sponsor them. Nearly 40% of the skills on your team today will be transformed or obsolete by 2030 (World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report 2025). The job descriptions on your desk right now? Already outdated. This is the people revolution, and it's happening as fast as the tech one. Instead of a keynote, we're doing a candid panel with Birmingham's HR and people-ops leaders on what it actually takes to lead a workforce through the AI shift — from hiring for where the puck is going, to the upskilling plays that compound, to change management when the work itself is changing.
