Coffee and Connect: a discussion on future skills and AI

About this event

The CIPD Branch in Wessex brings together HR and L&D professionals for an informal conversation on what AI means for future skills planning. Held over coffee at Chilworth Manor, the session is designed for practitioners weighing up how automation and emerging technology will reshape roles, capability frameworks and hiring. Expect an open discussion format rather than a lecture, with space to compare notes with peers facing similar workforce questions. Free to attend, it suits HR managers, learning and development leads, and anyone responsible for skills strategy who wants a grounded, practical take on AI's impact rather than hype.
