CHANGE Conference: AI+Humans
### ***If AI reinvents work â 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 ONâs 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 â Doors Open**
**17:00 â 17:15 â Welcome Speech**
**17:15 â 18:00 â 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

Moderator: [Dr Tanja Collavo](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanja-collavo/), Senior Programme Manager, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership
**18:00 â 18:15 â Break**
**18:15 â 19:15 â 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

Moderator: [Inna Malaia](https://www.linkedin.com/in/inna-malaia/), Founder, Bevel World, Managing Director, Bevel ON Association
**19:30 â 21:00 â 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.

**ABOUT US:**
**Why?** **fun** **offline meaningful connections**! Have **fun** meeting **new friends** & **existing friends** thus building your **community.** Its scientifically proven that **offline** **human connections** make us **happy** and **healthy** (more on this below)
**Where?** at the **rooftop** of ZĂŒrich's most famous and beautiful **garden** \- Frau Gerolds garden\!
**How?**
**Disconnect** your phone & Connect with people in a **free** and **super-fun** event! These recurring events create a "fixed" community without any specific reasons for connection (like interests, genders, age or countries). **Everyone is welcome**! The event is that **simple**đ
* đŽNEW: beautiful **rooftop** in most beautiful **garden** in central ZĂŒrich that comes with its own bar
* **đ„** **New comer area** for first-time-atendees with ice-breaker questions (optional area, in case you want to talk to first-time attendees)
* đ **meet like-minded** **friends** by **voting** your favorite discussion topics - the top 5 will be turned into topic-based tables!
* đ **Fun social games** (read game names below)
* **đČ Mindful Connection Games** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) with games and questions that go deeper in connection (game names below). Grab a game and start playing.
* đŹ or simply **hang-out** and **meet new & old friends** **without** a process
.
**IMPORTANT:**
* **Why so many options above for connection?** We always have: a first-timer area, Fun social games, Mindful games, ice-breaker questions or simply just talk freely to anyone. Often we add: Speed-friending and a Music jam. We believe **you are unique** and each of us prefers different ways of connection. Also we want to provide an opportunity for everyone to try something new
* **Easy and "Safe":** We have the whole location reserved for us so its safe to open up and meet new friends (unlike bars in ZĂŒrich where people find it strange if strangers talk to them). Christos and volunteers will also help with connection. Read more info below.
* **Christos** (see [PHOTO](https://photos.app.goo.gl/pdtVaVGCyDEJ28uE8)) and our co-organisers will be wearing name budges and will aim to **welcome** **everyone.**

* For **volunteering** for free please msg Christos 0768175380. We can provide free drinks for your service
.
**TIPS on HOW TO CONNECT:**
* **Look out for a good smile/vibe** in a person/group of 2-3 people and say "Hi my name is xxx, can I join?".
* **Try something different** (person, game, table, activity) often until you find **fun** **quality connection**
* **Ask** **Support:** we understand going out to meet friends can be a stretch. We make this easy with a fun and safe event. Also you can ask for help from our clearly communicated (see photos of this event) "**People Connectors**" who can help you discreetly to connect with others
* **Invest time**(not quickly just come by) as friendships are an investment
* **Come back**: big turnaround, people come randomly at each event, so you never know who you ll meet

**ABOUT US:** **(in detail)**
.
.
**WHY Connection Space**?
* ... we â€ïž **uniting people** while having **fun!** We make the world better by enabling **fun quality offline connections** & building **community!**
* ... we truly believe **Human Connections** is what we truly **deeply crave** for and what we truly **need** so we can be **happy** and **healthy**! This is proven by data in [ANCIENT HISTORY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg_47J6sy3A), in [MODERN HISTORY](https://www.kiltrohealth.com/blog/blue-zones-social-connection-the-secret-to-longevity-and-well-being) and also scientifically proven by [HARVARD ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KkKuTCFvzI)in an 87 year old study. Yes this makes you [HEALTHY](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/relationships-boost-survival/#:~:text=Overall%252C%2520social%2520support%2520increases%2520survival,%252Da%252Dday%2520smoking%2520habit) and is what you really need - the other things are not as important as society tells you.
.
* **WHAT is Connection Space?**
Imagine a co-working space where everyone is with headphones, laptops, mostly being 'alone' all day ...
or a cafe/restaurant/bar where pretty much all people talk to people they already know..
.
The **"Connection Space"** is exactly the opposite of that; its a **fun** social environment outside family and work, a cultural exchange, where we **unite** and hangout with **new and old friends** as **one community**.
.
Thats it.
.
No to phones, laptops, zoom-calls, books
No to a specific reason to get together (eg. only for specific hobbies, genders, age groups, languages etc)
No to just talking to your friends
Not a dating, not a party, not an expat-only meetup
NO to division (political racial gender etc)
.
Yes to simple and real in-person connection with new and old friends
YES TO FUN! We got many optional activities for you to try out
Yes to feeling like home & come as you are
Yes to unity, love and respect for one another
Yes to eating, drinking and music
Yes to everyone-is-welcome & always-free events
YES to UNITY! Getting along with each other in spite of different opinions
.
Our events are **inspired** by the Greek village culture of "[ÎαÏÎ”ÎœÎ”ÎŻÎż](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)" (village coffeeshops) with photos [HERE](https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=569660528&sxsrf=AM9HkKlXnclaLfgcockKtdr9qHdmD5jaGw:1696060562834&q=greek+%CE%BA%CE%B1%CF%86%CE%B5%CE%BD%CE%B5%CE%B9%CE%BF&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi52fX67dGBAxXnlf0HHZNiBHUQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=1460&bih=913&dpr=2). When myself Christos was a kid, my granddad took me to these "[ÎαÏÎ”ÎœÎ”ÎŻÎż](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafenio)". Every neighbourhood had one, and people met, without an exaggeration, on a daily-basis. It was the community center of the village. People met new and old friends, played games, socialised, ate snacks, drank coffee and ouzo. It was a very friendly, welcoming and homey environment. Unfortunately this concept is rapidly dying in Greece. As a kid I had extremely good memories of these coffeeshops, and for this reason I am passionate to revive and recreate this environment and also add a modern twist. Hope you enjoy it!
.
* **WHAT is NOT Connection Space? NOT** a drinks or party event (responsible drinking only, no shots, no free drinks). **NOT** a dating event. **NOT** foreigners-only, but everyone is welcome
* **What KIND of event is this?** Its a mix of **social** and **cultural event** that build **community**. We have many people from so many different cultures socialising, we promote culture with events with Art exhibitions and Live Music and we also revive the social culture of the Greek traditional village coffeeshop (ÎαÏÎ”ÎœÎ”ÎŻÎż - read more above).
* **WHO?** Wir wollen gerne mehr **Schweizer/innen** dabei haben! Alle sind willkommen und die meisten können Deutsch sprechen. Not an expat event. **Everyone welcome**!
* **Mindful Connection Games:** from [The School of Life](https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/?_product_type=games-card-sets) available: Confessions Game, The Friendship Game, Connection Game, The Loser Game, Games for grown-ups and three sets of "100 questions" (Conversation Toolkit & Careers & Relationships)
* **Fun Social Games:** bring your own **board/card games** or choose from: Cards against humanity, Exploding Kittens, Codenames, Debatable, Sotally Tober, Taboo, Mafia, Uno, Monopoly and more.
.
Looking forward to **fun quality Connections**! đ

Building Scalable Customer Identity Resolution Pipelines on AWS Using AI
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.
