 Replacement or Reinvention? 

 How AI is redefining skills, work and careers  

Wednesday 22 April | 6.30pm | IET London: Savoy Place


Artificial Intelligence is projected to create an estimated 78 million net new jobs globally by 2030¹, fundamentally transforming how value is created within organisations. Roles are shifting from execution-based tasks to judgment-focused decision-making, redefining the skills organisations need, restructuring work processes and altering career paths.

To explore these profound shifts, EDHEC Alumni and the EDHEC Artificial Intelligence Centre invite you to a flagship evening event on 22 April 2026 at IET London: Savoy Place.

Join us for an evening where you will: 

  • Hear from keynote speaker Michelle Sisto, Director, EDHEC Artificial Intelligence Centre
  • Gain insights from a cross-sector panel featuring Microsoft, QS, Artefact and Busuu/Chegg
  • Continue the conversation at the networking reception with fellow professionals
