AI Agents: The Next Digital Workforce

Join us for an engaging and informative panel discussion exploring how AI agents are reshaping the way work gets done—and what that means for organizations, employees, and the broader community.
Moderated by Tia Martin, IT Manager at CASE Credit Union, this discussion will feature panelists from local companies including CIOs and Directors, each bringing a unique perspective on how AI agents are being designed, deployed, and governed across industries. Together, they’ll unpack what AI agents are, how they differ from traditional automation, and where they’re already acting as a “digital workforce” to support decision‑making, streamline operations, and enhance customer experiences.
The panel will also explore real‑world opportunities, challenges, and ethical considerations, as well as the skills humans will need to thrive in an AI‑augmented future. Expect lively conversation, practical insights, and time for audience questions.
Whether you’re a business leader, technologist, student, or simply curious about where AI is headed, this session is designed to be accessible, thought‑provoking, and informative.
All are welcome—come learn, ask questions, and be part of the conversation shaping the future of work.
