WBC’s "Leading the Way" Workforce Event Series

We are thrilled to invite you to our first event in 2026 for this exclusive and intimate 3-part event series, "Leading the Way," designed specifically for company leaders. This series aims to share best practices and delve into the stories behind how fellow Chicago employers have created space for different talent and innovative hiring practices. Our goal is to highlight actionable frameworks and inspire change through leadership.

As AI becomes a growing force in the workplace, it is reshaping how employers find, evaluate, and hire talent. Join us for an engaging discussion with HR and business leaders as they explore the opportunities and challenges of using AI in the hiring process. Learn about the tools organizations are adopting, how they are enhancing recruitment strategies, and the ethical considerations that come with increasing automation. Whether you're an HR professional, business leader, or simply curious about the future of work, this conversation will provide valuable insights into hiring in the age of AI.

We are proud to have the support of our esteemed partners: The Chicago Mayor's Office, Corporate Coalition, Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, Cara Collective, and Origami Works who already do great work convening employers and we’re looking forward to working more closely together.
