A few events coming up that I think are worth your time if you work in HR, People or AI and want to see what AI actually looks like in practice. I'll be at the Practi one and would love to see some of you there 👋

→ 6th OCT: AI for People Teams, Q4 2026 (online 💻) Registration
Jessie Schofer (Stakkd) joins Alexandre Kantjas for an hour on what changed for people teams this quarter, with one use case built live. Free, 17:00 CET, no technical background needed.

→ 8th OCT: Practi Live, AI Stories Beyond the Hype (Amsterdam 🇳🇱) Registration
The one I'm most looking forward to. I've been joining Practi's online sessions for a while, and this is their first live event, part of World AI Week. Real stories from people using AI at work, including how Magnum is building agentic HR, and a panel with Maria Ursu (Booking.com). It runs 16:30–18:30 at Magnum's HQ, so yes, there's ice cream. Capped at 100 people.

→ 13th OCT: TA Meetup, GTM Hiring in the Age of AI (Amsterdam 🇳🇱) Registration
Ashby and Recruitment Slackers Community at Mollie's office, moderated by James Lesner (Catawiki) with a panel featuring Toma Skimelyte (Mollie), Dimitri Krabbenborg (Bluebird) and Casper Bergmans (Ashby), followed by drinks. Doors open at 18:00, panel at 19:00. Registration needs host approval.

→ 21st OCT: Leaders Go First, Why Executive AI Fluency Matters (online 💻) Registration
A Practi Meet with Reuven Gorsht (CEO, Deeded) on why leaders need hands-on AI experience before asking their teams to change how they work. Practical, focused on what leaders actually need to do. 16:00 CET.

AI is dominating every conversation in HR right now, but what does it actually look like in practice?
