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

⌖ Santiago

Hosted by University of Notre Dame / Universidad de los Andes

RISE AI Latin America Summit brings academia, industry and government to Santiago on 20–21 October 2026 to advance responsible AI across the region. Co-created by Universidad de los Andes and the University of Notre Dame, in partnership with institutions across Latin America, this two-day conference focuses on a defining question: how should AI be built, governed and shared so that it serves communities and the common good? It offers a regional forum for perspectives that can influence both Latin American priorities and the wider global conversation. The RISE AI framework The programme is organised around four connected principles: - Responsible: establishing accountability throughout the AI lifecycle, from data and model training to deployment and use, while aligning systems with human values and community needs. - Inclusive: reflecting different communities, languages, cultures, disciplines and lived experiences,and giving people affected by AI meaningful opportunities to shape it. - Safe: creating reliable, secure and robust systems that actively reduce harm, prevent misuse and address unintended consequences. - Empowering: using AI to expand human capability, strengthen communities, improve access to opportunity and augment rather than diminish human agency. These principles provide a practical basis for discussing innovation, governance and institutional change in a region where questions of access, sustainability and development are already urgent realities. Themes and perspectives The summit will convene contributors from universities, companies and public institutions across three highlighted tracks: - Education: skills development and institutional transformation - Health & Biotech: innovation spanning health and engineering - Business: AI adoption and governance models The wider context includes Latin America’s research capabilities, entrepreneurial momentum and public-sector demand. Attendees can expect a cross-sector conversation that connects technical progress with accountability, social impact and the realities of implementation. The event page also includes a call for abstracts, creating an avenue for relevant work to contribute to the summit discussion. Who should attend?… Register for this event
