Wednesday, January 28, 2026 | 4 – 7 p.m. | Walsh College
AI is transforming industries — but not the way many think.
Join Walsh College for an evening of networking, learning, and discussion focused on how AI is reshaping, not replacing, the workforce.
Dean Dave Schippers will moderate a panel of industry experts, alumni, and technology leaders as they explore how AI is becoming a powerful tool for professionals rather than a threat to them.
We’ll tackle common misconceptions and highlight how IT and business professionals can adapt, lead, and thrive in this new AI-driven era.
