Why it’s worth going

For finance and accounting students, understanding AI’s impact on professional roles is increasingly critical as automation and analytics reshape traditional business functions. This event offers insights into how human skills remain valuable alongside technological advancement, a topic directly relevant to career planning in data-driven finance environments. The event format of short, focused talks allows exposure to multiple perspectives in a single evening.

Going in prepared

Plan to arrive at Desautels Hall by 5:30 p.m. to check in and find seating before the talks begin. The event runs until 7:00 p.m., so allow the full 90-minute block in your schedule. Since this explores AI and human capabilities, consider preparing questions about how these themes apply to finance and accounting roles. Registration is required through the event portal, so complete that in advance to secure your spot.
