Data Strategy

### ***If AI reinvents work — how do we ensure people are not left behind?*** Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming how organisations recruit, structure work, and develop talent. The future of work will not be defined by AI alone, but by how effectively organisations align technological innovation with human capability, responsibility, and opportunity. The Zurich edition of **CHANGE**, Bevel ON’s social sustainability platform, brings together leaders from business transformation, human resources, consulting, technology, and sustainability to examine how organisations can navigate this transition responsibly and strategically. At the same time, the event will address a critical social sustainability challenge: how to ensure that technological progress expands opportunity rather than widening inequality. Companies that successfully combine AI adoption with inclusive talent strategies, continuous learning, and human-centred leadership will be best positioned to build resilient organisations and trusted brands. ## **Agenda Overview** **Location:** [Marriott Zurich Hotel](https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/zrhdt-zurich-marriott-hotel/overview/) **16:30 — Doors Open** **17:00 – 17:15 — Welcome Speech** **17:15 – 18:00 — Panel 1: Workplace Transformation** **Human-Centred AI as a Leadership Responsibility** This panel explores how AI is reshaping organisational structures and leadership accountability, focusing on how companies measure impact beyond efficiency and integrate the human dimension into AI-driven transformation, including ESG alignment, governance, and reskilling responsibility. Topics include: integrating AI into sustainability frameworks, future of roles and skills, organizational responsibility for learning & development in AI. **Speakers:** * [Liza Engel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/liza-engel-lambert/), Chief Sustainability Officer, Deloitte * [Antonio Calco Labruzzo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniocalcolabruzzo/), SVP People & Culture Arcera GenMed * ‍[Dave Drodge](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davedrodge/), Group Lead Digital Transformation, Roche Moderator: [Dr Tanja Collavo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanja-collavo/), Senior Programme Manager, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership **18:00 – 18:15 — Break** **18:15 – 19:15 — Panel 2: Workforce Reinvention** **Employment Opportunities in an AI-driven World** This panel focuses on how organisations can support workforce adaptation in the age of AI, addressing AI-driven recruitment, emerging vs. disappearing roles, bias and inequality in AI systems, and how businesses can use AI to augment human potential rather than replace it. Topics include: augmented work, the rise of agentic AI, data gaps, evolution of recruitment principles. **Speakers:** * [Milo Honegger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/milohonegger/), Director AI Value, Oracle * [Patricia Ferreiro](https://www.linkedin.com/in/patriciaferreiro/), Field Technical Advisor AI, Databricks * [Antonio Trifilo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/antonio-trifilo/), Senior Software Engineering Leader at Cisco AI-Ops Moderator: [Inna Malaia](https://www.linkedin.com/in/inna-malaia/), Founder, Bevel World, Managing Director, Bevel ON Association **19:30 – 21:00 — Networking Reception** Bringing together executives, workforce strategists, and technology experts, **AI + Humans: Designing the Future Together** offers a forward-looking dialogue on how organisations can integrate artificial intelligence with human potential to shape a more resilient and inclusive future of work. ## **Tickets** Your donation-based ticket of **CHF 80** supports Bevel ON’s social non-profit mission to create professional pathways for displaced professionals and talents in transition.

\*\* Important RSVP [here](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026051307) (Due to room capacity and venue security, it's required to pre-register at the link for admission). RSVP on Meetup is turned off. **Description:** Join us for a community-led developer event focused on AI-assisted coding with GitHub Copilot. This event brings together developers to explore practical workflows, real-world use cases, and hands-on experiences using GitHub Copilot. Whether you are new to GitHub Copilot or already using it, this event will help you better understand how to apply AI-assisted coding techniques in everyday development. **Agenda** \- 4:30pm: Doors open\, Snacks\, and Networking \- 5:00pm: Welcome\, Community update \- 5:10pm\~5:40pm: Tech talk: GitHub Copilot overview \- 5:40pm\~6:40pm: Tech talk: GitHub Copilot in Practice \- 6:40pm\~7:30pm: Open discussion and closing **Tech talk: Mastering GitHub Copilot CLI** **Speaker:** Aymen Furter - Cloud & AI Solution Engineer, Microsoft **Abstract:** Learn to harness the power of agentic development by transitioning to autonomous, multi-step terminal workflows. This session focuses on mastering plan-based execution, repository-aware context, and integrating external data via the Model Context Protocol. **Tech talk: GitStop Using GitHub Copilot Like a Toy** **Speaker:** Emanuele Bartolesi - GitHub Tech Lead, Xebia **Abstract:** Hub Copilot is easy to love in a demo. Real projects are different. Production codebases come with legacy code, missing context, inconsistent patterns, unclear requirements, and delivery pressure. That is where GitHub Copilot either becomes a real advantage or just an expensive toy. This talk focuses on practical ways to use Copilot in real development workflows, going beyond autocomplete. Agent mode, skills, Copilot CLI, and better prompting can make a real difference when working in messy repositories and under real deadlines. Designed for developers and tech leads who want more than flashy demos, this session shares concrete tactics to get better output, reduce noise, and make Copilot genuinely useful in day-to-day software delivery. **Speakers/Topics:** Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: [Submit Topics](https://forms.gle/JkMt91CZRtoJBSFUA) **Venue:** Microsoft Schweiz GmbH The Circle 02, 8058 Zürich ZH **Sponsors:** We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community.

2 Short Talks by David Stark – Against Planning in Game Design – Are We Doing Game Marketing Wrong? Plus, as always, meeting and chatting with other game developers. Note that the event is on **Wednesday** this month.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City. He has worked there for 17 years, serving previously in the roles of Data Analyst, Programmer, and Operations Coordinator.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
