AI in Practice for 2027 - Los Angeles

Join a small group of senior HR, Benefits, and Total Rewards leaders in Beverly Hills for a candid dinner conversation on what it takes to move AI from pilots into how HR runs, and how to show it pays for itself.

You’ll hear from Brad Warga, Partner and co-head of the global HR Officers Practice at Heidrick & Struggles. Brad helps boards and CEOs decide what they need from their next CHRO, and AI now plays a growing part in that decision. Rohan D’Souza, Co-founder and CEO of Avante, previously led product and technology at Olive AI, where his team’s AI was adopted by one in five U.S. health systems and payers. He knows what it takes to get AI out of the pilot stage and into daily operations. Together they’ll give you a clear view of what your board will ask of you and how to deliver it.

This is a peer-level exchange on the choices being made, the lessons emerging, and what it means for the function you lead in 2027 and beyond.
