SUMMARY:From Stuck to Strategic: Leadership in the Age of AI - Hosted by WEST
DESCRIPTION:Every leader in your network is under pressure to ‘just AI it.’ Most are navigating that pressure privately — uncertain\, overwhelmed\, and unwilling to say so out loud. \nThis talk led by Dr. Amber J. Conley names what’s actually happening: GenAI doesn’t just change workflows — it threatens identity\, expertise\, and relevance. That’s not a tech problem. That’s a psychology problem. \nThrough real stories\, a practical framework\, and guided reflection moments\, leaders leave with language for something they’ve felt but couldn’t name — and a clear path forward. \nYou will leave with \n\nA framework for understanding why AI adoption stalls at the leadership level\nLanguage for the anxiety they’ve been managing alone\nThree things effective leaders do differently right now\nOne honest reflection they can act on immediately\n\nAbout the Speaker \nDr. Amber Conley has spent 25 years asking one question: what actually helps people lead well when the ground keeps shifting? That question took her from 12 years at IBM to strategy consulting at BCG to a PsyD in Leadership Psychology — and now to coaching executives and emerging leaders navigating one of the most disorienting shifts of their careers: AI. She teaches leadership at Endicott College’s School of Business\, coaches through her practice Elevate Your Leadership\, and brings the same belief to every room she’s in: the most powerful leadership development happens when insight meets action.

SUMMARY:ADP: Important July 6 Filing Update for R&D Tax Credits
DESCRIPTION:Insights and Practical Guidance Under the One Big Beautiful Bill \nA rare\, time-sensitive\, filing window to identify and secure cash refunds is approaching\, and many small and medium sized businesses don’t realize what’s at stake. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA)\, qualifying businesses now have a final opportunity to amend 2022–2024 tax returns to immediately expense domestic R&D costs and make or fix a Section 280C election. However\, this is only if amended returns are filed no later than July 6\, 2026 (or the earlier expiration of the statute of limitations for each year). Miss the date\, and this flexibility is gone for good. \nThis timely session is designed for Human Resource\, Payroll\, and Tax leaders alike – who play a critical role in data\, documentation\, and execution. We’ll break down what’s changed under the OBBA\, why the July 6 deadline is non-negotiable\, and how employers can act now to avoid costly expenses\, missed credits\, and compliance risk—while preparing payroll and tax teams for the new documentation rules taking effect in 2026. \nKey focus areas for this webinar include: \n\nWhat changed under the OBBA related to R&D and why it matters to employers\nUnderstanding the July6 amendment deadline & which returns may be impacted\nHow the Section280C election affects R&D credit outcomes and amended filings\nThe role of HR and Payroll data in supporting R&D credit documentation\nPreparing for upcoming R&D documentation and filing requirements taking effect in 2026\n\nApproved for 1 SHRM \, HRCI\, and CPE credit

This interactive session will provide an overview of EQ and the role it can play in building powerful leaders and high performers.

SUMMARY:Operationalizing AI in Healthcare: From Concept to Health System Integration - Hosted by Yale New Haven Health
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Yale New Haven Health\, the 2026 Health AI Symposium brings together health system leaders\, clinicians\, innovators\, and policymakers to focus on how artificial intelligence is being applied in practice across healthcare today. Now in its second year\, the symposium reflects the field’s evolution. While last year emphasized governance and responsible foundations\, this year centers on implementation—what it takes to remove barriers\, integrate AI into workflows\, and improve access to care in meaningful ways. Sessions highlight real examples from health systems\, with a focus on feasibility\, validation\, and day‑to‑day use rather than theory. \nA central feature of the symposium is the YNHHS Innovation Awards\, themed Breaking Barriers\, Building Access. This year’s awards highlight solutions developed by Yale and Yale New Haven Health teams that expand patient access\, redesign clinical and operational workflows\, support care beyond hospital walls\, and enable new models of care. Selected teams may receive up to $50\,000 in funding\, along with the opportunity to validate their solution within Yale New Haven Health\, subject to review and award criteria. Finalist presentations offer a practical look at what implementation looks like inside a large health system. \nThe Health AI Symposium is designed for healthcare executives\, clinicians\, digital and technology leaders\, AI innovators\, and policy and ethics professionals seeking grounded\, experience‑based perspectives on applying AI to improve access\, care delivery\, and operations.

SUMMARY:WIB: Founders Scale for Growth by Building Teams & Setting Culture

SUMMARY:Shaping CT's Future: Workforce Velocity: Stabilizing the Talent Economy to Accelerate Growth
DESCRIPTION:  \nConnecticut does not lack talent\, organizations\, or opportunity. What it lacks is coordinated speed. \nIn a volatile labor market shaped by demographic shifts\, policy changes\, technological acceleration\, and rising cost pressures\, the greatest competitive advantage will not belong to the state with the most talent. It will belong to the sectors that move talent the fastest. \nThe Talent Economy is driven\, in part\, by Workforce Velocity\, or the rate at which a person can stabilize\, earn\, advance\, and sustain upward mobility. \nVelocity determines how quickly: \n\nA parent can secure childcare after being hired\nA student can convert coursework into wages\nA manufacturer can shift demand into staffed shifts\nA displaced worker can re-enter the labor force\nAn entry-level employee can become middle income\nWhen velocity slows\, employers feel scarcity. Families feel fragility. The state feels stagnation.\n\nConversely\, when velocity increases\, growth compounds. \nOur Workforce Velocity event brings together leaders from business\, education\, policy\, infrastructure\, finance\, and community organizations to examine one central question: How do we design the fastest-moving talent economy in the country?

SUMMARY:AI Strategy as Competitive Advantage: What Leading Companies Do Differently - Hosted by CLA
DESCRIPTION:The rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence – real or hype – is shaping the landscape of how business will be done. What seemed like the distant future is now knocking at the front door\, ready or not. \nBarriers to accessibility are falling\, making tools easier and more affordable. SaaS companies are embedding pervasive AI functionality directly into their applications that interact with your data and workflows. Shadow AI is creeping into the organization\, presenting a new front for risk.\nYet very few businesses are successful in moving from pilot to scaled production with AI where they truly drive ROI. The question that every leader evaluating AI should be asking is not whether to adopt AI\, but instead if AI is more pervasive\, cheaper\, and faster than ever\, why aren’t adopters seeing measurable return on investment when moving to scale? \nWe discuss this and more in the opening chapter to a series of webinars on how CLA is executing on its own digital transformation and using our experience to help our clients strategize for and scale with AI effectively\, responsibly\, and securely. \nJoin moderator Jordan Alexander and Chris Blackburn\, who connect for a fireside chat to dive into CLA’s AI strategy manifesto and why the right strategy\, not tools and a list of use cases\, is at the core to achieving safe\, secure\, and meaningful outcomes with AI.
