AI & OJ: The HR & TA Leaders Breakfast - Jan, NY

Join us for the first AI & OJ breakfast of 2026, an intimate gathering where HR and talent acquisition leaders connect over breakfast and tackle the challenges shaping our industry today.

Each month, we bring together a curated group of TA and HR leaders (capped at 15 attendees) for breakfast bites and real talk. It's your chance to build community, explore the latest trends, and kick off the day with energy and insight from your peers.

January's Prompt Question

From niche technical positions to emerging AI roles, let's dig into the recruiting challenges keeping us up at night, and share strategies that actually work.
