About Leading with AI

At our 2025 Charter Workplace Summit, BetterUp chief people and community officer and summit co-chair Jolen Anderson said companies are in the “messy middle” of change when it comes to AI.

For many organizations, the messy middle looks like greater adoption, experimentation, worker training, and more use cases, with little to show for it at the organization level. This year's Leading with AI Summit focuses on how to break out of the messy middle and pull ahead.

Learn from leaders about what has and hasn't worked, hear from practitioners on how they're using AI to be more effective, and get practical frameworks for moving your organization from adoption, where AI is slotted into existing ways of working, to transformation, where companies redesign the way they work for AI while putting their people first.

What people are saying about the event:

Employer branding is finally getting the spotlight it deserves—as a strategic, gritty, and collective force for attracting and retaining talent.”
ANNE HURLEY
Director, talent branding, NBCUniversal
I had the pleasure of attending The New Employer Brand Summit today hosted by Charter and Welcome to the Jungle. In a sea of conferences and events that sometimes feel like a rinse and repeat of the one you attended last quarter, this one felt different…and refreshing.”
Jacqueline Carow
North America agency director, Havas People
"It was energizing to be in a room where reporters and leaders alike were aligned on this truth: employer brand is not what we say—it’s what we show, and what employees share.”
Jennifer Riedinger
Senior vice president, MWWPR
