Join us for a powerful morning of insight, connection, and forward-thinking discussion at this special Business at Breakfast, delivered in partnership with our Business Growth Studio.
With limited places available, this session is designed to give you a competitive edge - helping you understand what’s coming next and how to position your business to thrive.
AI and the Changing Nature of Work: The Next 5 Years
Artificial intelligence isn’t coming - it’s already here. And it’s reshaping roles, industries, and expectations at a pace many businesses are struggling to keep up with.
In this engaging keynote, Alex Zarifeh, founder of Futures Readiness, will cut through the noise to explore what AI really means for the future of work - and what you need to be thinking about now.
This is not a technical workshop. It’s a mindset shift.
You’ll gain:
- Clear, expert insight into how AI is transforming the workplace
- Realistic predictions on the skills and roles that will define the next five years
- A broader perspective on how to stay agile in a time of rapid change
Alex brings over 15 years of frontline experience in education, having worked at The Arthur Terry School as a teacher, sixth form leader, and careers lead. He went on to launch Futures Readiness within the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership, supporting schools and colleges across the UK to prepare young people - and educators - for an AI-driven future.
Now a nationally recognised keynote speaker, Alex is known for delivering eye-opening sessions that challenge assumptions and spark new thinking.
