The rules of the game have changed.[ According to a recent survey by resume.org](https://www.resume.org/1-in-3-companies-anticipate-ai-running-their-entire-hiring-process-by-2026/), 1 in 3 companies will be handling their hiring entirely with AI in 2026. 56% of companies surveyed are already using it. 57% of companies using AI worry that it screens out qualified candidates, and 50% fear it introduces bias, while 3 in 4 companies allow AI to reject candidates without human oversight. That means autonomous AI agents, and "spray-and-pray" applications that are becoming effectively invisible. If you feel like you're shouting into a void, it’s because the void is now an algorithm.

Join us for a high-impact evening designed to help you reclaim your agency in an AI-driven market. We are striving for an exciting event to make an impact on your networking with the community, not just a lecture to make you feel worse. Coming from personal experience of 3 layoffs in 2 years, I (Andres, organizer of Fort Collins AI) understand how hard it is to connect and find work. So this session is about paying it forward!

Our speakers include:

• Nithin Mohan - AI & Supercomputing Leader at HPE | Senior Executive Fellow at The Digital Economist, and Founder of the AI Collective Chapter in Boulder, Colorado
• Phil Nugent - Founder & Editor in Chief of Colorado AI News, Managing Director of NGC Strategic Marketing

Our current plan for the evening includes:

• Guided Networking: No awkward standing in corners. We’ll be using structured networking to ensure you meet the right people quickly.
• Expert Keynotes: Short, sharp sessions from industry veterans on the "Human+AI" collaboration mindset and how to improve your presence online.

### Who Should Attend?

• Active Job Seekers looking to networking and learn more about the job search, AI in the workforce, and using LinkedIn in 2026.
• Career Pivoters trying to translate their "old world" experience into AI-adjacent roles with a community-oriented event.
• Recruiters & Hiring Managers looking for authentic talent in a sea of AI-generated applications.
