CHANGE Conference: AI+Humans
### ***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.

* [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 – 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.

* [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

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.

Fast Friending - Real Connections! (25-45/Ice Breakers)
Meeting new people as adults isn’t easy—busy lives and smaller circles make real connections harder to find, and online interactions rarely match face-to-face warmth.
Our Fast Friending Evening is designed to change that—bringing like-minded people together for genuine, in-person conversations. Just show up, be yourself, and leave with meaningful new connections.
**You will need to buy a ticket for attending -**
[https://zurich16thmay.eventbrite.co.uk](https://zurich16thmay.eventbrite.co.uk)
\*You can use any debit or credit card to purchase your ticket at PayPal checkout. It will ask you for your email address but that is only to send you a receipt. You do not need a PayPal account.
TICKETS:-
Early bird - CHF 10
Regular ticket - CHF 15
Cash at the meetup - If you have not purchased your ticket in advance then you can pay CHF 20 per person in cash on the day of the meetup to Neo (Please bring exact change)
'Fast friending' is our fun and quick way to help you make new connections quickly with both ladies and gentlemen. These are people in the age group of 25 and 45 and so you will be on a similar wavelength. Naturally you can always choose who to speak with based on your preference!
Here's how your evening is planned -
**7:00 PM – Welcome**
\- We will meet at 7\.00 pm when you will be welcomed by your host Neo\. She will manage the evening and also help you make connections\.
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Neo will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable. All attendees are also welcome to bring a lady friend along with them for free. This will make it a lot less stressful for you as you will always have your friend alongside.
**7:30 – 8:30 PM \| Fast Friending**
\- From 7\.30 to 8\.30 pm\, we will start 'Fast Friending' where our host will ask you to speak to a different attendee every 3 minutes\. You will be able to meet lots of ladies and gentlemen and not be limited to only those sitting or standing next you\.
**After 8:30 PM \| Open Mingling**
\- After 8\.30 pm you will have time to interact with those you have met as well as others\.
If you are a bit shy or anxious then please come early. Neo will help you meet other members in a small group and help you settle down and get comfortable.
\- We are not a close knit tight group\. Our evenings are warm and comfortable for members attending for the first time and those coming alone\. You will not feel alone\!
\- We have many groups in this city\. Members of our other groups who RSVP are included as guests of the organisers in order to give you an indication of expected people\.
\- This evening is for ladies and gents in the 25 to 45 age group\.
\- Our evenings are not about 'dating' or for 'romantic' connections\. 'Fast friending' is NOT 'Speed dating'\. 'Fast friending' is designed to help members meet other like minded ladies and gents\. It is about new friendships and connections\. Naturally\, new friendships can lead to dating or romantic connections\, but that is not our focus\.
Why do we have tickets?
1. Cover our costs - Our host is compensated for their time and work. We also pay meetup and have dedicated staff to manage our events, hosts, venues and communication.
2. Group Safety - By securing your ticket we have a record and you contribute to a well organized evening where everyone is more committed and better behaved.

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.

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
CBusData - Practical AI for Power BI Developers
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.
