Welcome to the AI Strategies for Corporate Communications Conference!  

In this fast-paced forum, you'll get to know your fellow peers, their biggest internal communications challenges, and a few fun facts. 

Rolling out an enterprise AI tool is not just a technology launch. It is a communications challenge that requires organizations to build understanding, address uncertainty, and give employees the confidence to adopt new ways of working. Drawing on lessons from launching enterprise AI tools, this session explores how communications teams can help employees understand what AI means for them, build trust in new technologies, and turn initial awareness into meaningful, organization-wide adoption. 

Attendees will gain: 

• Lessons learned from communicating an enterprise AI launch 

• Strategies for building employee understanding and trust around AI 

• Approaches for addressing uncertainty, resistance, and common employee concerns 

• Practical ways to move employees from awareness to active adoption 

• Ideas for partnering across communications, leadership, HR, and technology teams to support organization-wide AI change 

If AI keeps handing you generic drafts you end up rewriting, the problem probably isn't the tool. The problem is that the tool knows nothing about you. It hasn't met your team, doesn't know your projects, and forgets every conversation the moment it ends. Meanwhile, people getting great results have quietly solved this: their assistant knows how they write, who they work with, and what got decided last quarter, so every answer starts from context instead of a blank page. In this session I'll show you a real working setup, not theory, and walk through a simple system you can build in about an hour and start using Monday.

You'll leave with:

• Why the same tool gives one person boilerplate and another brilliance
• What's worth capturing after a meeting, and what isn't
• A folder setup you can build in about an hour
• How to keep it current without another daily chore
• What changes when your assistant remembers what you've long forgotten

AI experimentation is happening across communications teams, but the biggest challenge is understanding where it can genuinely improve the work. Drawing on extensive hands-on experimentation and documented AI use cases, this session explores how communicators can map AI across functions, workflows, and detailed processes to identify where it adds value, where human judgment remains essential, and how roles and responsibilities evolve when AI becomes part of the workflow. 

You will learn: 

• A practical framework for identifying AI opportunities across communications functions 

• Real-world examples of AI use cases across different communications processes 

• Strategies for evaluating where AI can improve efficiency, quality, and strategic impact 

• Approaches for redesigning workflows while keeping human judgment and accountability at the center 

• A clearer understanding of how to move from isolated AI experiments to intentional, repeatable ways of working 

As organizations accelerate AI adoption, many find that content is the primary obstacle, not technology. This session explores how to begin the journey toward an AI-ready intranet by evaluating content quality, governance, ownership, and information architecture. Attendees will learn how to build stakeholder alignment, engage leadership, make the case for investment, and create a roadmap that improves content discoverability, reduces information fatigue, and lays the foundation for future AI and agentic employee experiences.

As organizations race to adopt generative and agentic AI, much of the focus is on technology, tools and platforms. But AI is only as good as the content it can find, understand and use. In this practical case study, Justin Elker, global business services and operations leader at Kenvue and The O’Keefe Group will share lessons learned from transforming thousands of enterprise knowledge articles to work more effectively for an AI-enabled future.

Attendees will learn what it takes to create content for both employees and AI, balance speed with governance, use AI and content standards to scale transformation, and measure whether AI-ready content is actually working and delivering better, more accurate answers. The session will also explore why communicators have an increasingly important role to play in building the content foundation for successful enterprise AI.

Take advantage of this interactive break to connect with our sponsors and experience their products and services firsthand. Each sponsor will host live demos at their table—giving you the chance to explore innovative solutions, ask questions, and find the tools that best support your work. 

A candid, no-holds-barred discussion on where organizations should draw the line as AI takes on bigger communications responsibilities. From executive messaging and content approvals to transparency, accountability, and human oversight, panelists will debate the ethical gray areas every communications leader is facing.

Together we will recap yesterday's top takeaways and set the stage for this final day of learning. 

A communications audit can reveal what is working, where messaging is falling short, and where leaders have opportunities to strengthen their visibility and influence. This session explores how AI was used to support a comprehensive employee communications audit and translate those findings into a strategic six-month roadmap for CEO communications. Attendees will see how AI can help communicators move from analysis to action and provide more informed, strategic counsel to senior leaders. 

Attendees will gain: 

• Practical ways to use AI to support a communications audit  

• Strategies for turning communications insights into an actionable roadmap  

• Approaches for using AI to identify gaps and opportunities in executive communications  

• Ideas for using AI to provide more strategic counsel to CEOs and senior leaders 

As AI-powered search and assistants increasingly influence how people discover and evaluate information, communications leaders face new questions about brand visibility, reputation, and trust. What is AI saying about your organization? And how should communications teams adapt as AI becomes part of the information ecosystem?

This session explores the evolving relationship between AI and corporate communications, including the opportunities and risks created by AI-generated content and AI-driven information discovery. Drawing on industry observations and emerging practices, the discussion will examine how organizations are thinking about AI visibility, misinformation risks, and maintaining credibility in a rapidly changing environment.

Attendees will leave with practical considerations for navigating these challenges and a better understanding of the role communications professionals can play in building and protecting trust in the age of AI.
