TECHS AND THE CITY BHAM: AI and HR – A 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 Already outdated.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.

This isn't just another panel. It's a live conversation about what talent actually means in the AI economy — and what it will take for Birmingham's people leaders to rise to the occasion.

Come if you want:

• A clearer read on the skills + roles that will matter most through 2030
• Practical plays you can take back to your team (hiring, upskilling, workforce planning)
• New local connections across HR, ops, and executive circles
• A community event that's not weirdly salesy
