An Evening at the AI Observatory with AWS & Bronto

⌖ Dublin · Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland

Hosted by Fruition Group Limited

A candid, interactive look at how AI is changing hiring, talent acquisition and HR, taking place in central Dublin on 5 November 2026. Rather than asking attendees to simply watch experts talk about AI, Above the Noise: AI, Hiring and What Actually Matters creates space for the talent community to discuss what the technology means in practice. Hosted by Fruition Ireland as part of Sourcing & Social, the evening combines a drinks reception, an interactive panel and small-group conversations with fellow HR and recruitment professionals. The event runs from 5pm to 8pm GMT on Thursday, 5 November, at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, 118 St Stephen’s Green, Dublin 2. The setting is the college’s rooftop terrace in Dublin city centre. A conversation shaped by the room Fruition Ireland’s Country Director, Stephen Daly, will host the discussion. The format will move between questions for the panel and facilitated conversations at tables of eight to ten people. This gives attendees the opportunity to compare perspectives, raise questions and hear how peers across the industry are thinking and feeling about AI. The focus is deliberately practical and open. Instead of presenting a one-way expert narrative, the session aims to represent a genuine cross-section of the community’s views on the rise of AI and its consequences for hiring. Relevant themes include: - What AI actually means for Talent and HR teams - How people working in sourcing and talent acquisition are responding - The questions and concerns that may be missing from mainstream AI discussions - Which changes matter most to people working across the industry Who should attend? This event is designed for people working in Talent, HR, recruitment, sourcing and talent acquisition, as well as those interested in the relationship between AI and hiring. Its discussion-led format should suit attendees who want an honest peer conversation rather than a technical workshop or a conventional sequence of presentations. No specific technical experience is stated or required. View the event and registration details
