Venue: The Collider - At Four Seven Seven, 477 Pitt Street, Sydney (Tech Central)
Comms Club Sydney is back! This time, we’re going full AI mode. Yes, the buzzword you hear everywhere. But instead of the hype, we’ll talk about how it actually matters for you: Internal Comms, IT, and HR leaders.💡 The AI-Native Employee Experience!
Expect an evening of sharp insights, the latest trends, and honest conversations (no robots writing this one, promise). And to top it all off? Networking, good drinks, and live music, because if we’re talking about the future of work, we might as well end the year on a high note.
And since it’s the holiday season, we’ll also take a moment to celebrate Christmas and celebrate you for making this event so special.

In this power session, Frank will reveal how AI is transforming Internal Comms from content creators into strategic architects of trust and relevance and what IT, HR and Comms leaders must do right now to stay ahead.

Staying human in an AI world
Michael Priddis Founder and CEO of Faethm AI, acquired by Pearson and Partner at Arena Mars, will lead a powerful session on how AI is advancing faster than organisations and people and why the real risk isn’t losing jobs, but being left behind.
