Thank you to our members in Amsterdam for joining us at IGC Live!
HiBob's Amsterdam office hosted our inaugural IGC Live in the Netherlands this week. 🎉 Thank you to everyone who came out and joined us for an evening of connection, cocktails, and honest conversation.
Here's what we covered:
Building on the NYC AI discussion, the Amsterdam event featured a panel with HR leaders from Gorilla, JetBrains, and Quatt, offering an honest look at how organizations are approaching AI at very different stages. From full-scale AI integration led by HR, to cautious experimentation driven by IT and GDPR considerations, to sandbox testing and incremental progress — the panel reflected the reality, not the hype, of AI adoption today.
No one-size-fits-all approach to AI:
A standout moment came when one panelist candidly shared that, as a startup, they currently have “bigger fish to fry” than AI — reinforcing a key takeaway from the discussion: AI maturity depends on business context, priorities, and readiness, and moving slowly can be just as strategic as moving fast.Connection, candor, and community:
The evening brought together 40 HR and People leaders in a relaxed, welcoming environment filled with great food, Bob’s signature In Good Company cocktails, and open, honest conversation. Attendees valued the chance to exchange challenges and ideas in a trusted, safe space, leaving energized, connected, and eager for more.
We can't wait to gather again in the New Year! Thanks again for joining us.👏
