Why we’re partnering on this event
At MCS Group, we’ve seen how quickly AI is shaping hiring, learning, and leadership. But we’ve also seen how many HR and L&D teams feel overwhelmed by where to start. That’s why we’re proud to partner with Kieran Gilmurray and Quantum HR for this two-day, in-person workshop designed to make AI practical, relevant, and actionable for real HR and L&D professionals.
This isn’t about buzzwords or theory. It’s about giving you the understanding, tools, and confidence to lead responsible AI adoption in your organisation — and to bring your people with you.
What you’ll get from attending
Over two days, you’ll work directly with industry practitioners and peers to:
- Identify where AI can add real value in HR and L&D
- Build a strategy for ethical, measurable AI adoption
- Strengthen your ability to influence senior stakeholders
- Apply AI tools in hands-on exercises
- Build confidence to lead transformation across your organisation
The sessions combine real-world case studies, collaborative learning, and guided exercises to help you translate insight into a clear plan for your business.
Why it matters now
AI is already changing how organisations attract, develop, and retain talent. For HR and L&D leaders, understanding how to use these tools responsibly isn’t optional — it’s essential.
This workshop gives you a practical roadmap to harness AI in a way that supports people, improves decision-making, and future-proofs your HR and learning functions.
Hear from MCS Group’s Louise Smyth
We’re also proud to have Louise Smyth, Group Chief Commercial Officer at MCS Group, joining as a guest speaker.
With 30 years of experience leading teams and driving growth across Ireland, Louise will share how MCS has approached digital transformation in recruitment, the realities of using AI tools in a people-first industry, and what she’s learned from working with clients on talent strategy in an AI-driven world.
