Supporters to Shapers: How HR & L&D Must Adapt in the Age of AI Boston 2026

A Leadership Action Network Experience, brought to you by Adeption. AI isn’t just changing how organizations work—it’s redefining the skills, mindsets, and support employees need to thrive. For HR and learning leaders, the challenge isn’t only understanding what AI means for the business, but also how to adapt systems, develop talent, and guide teams through rapid change. The real question is: how do we as HR and L&D professionals evolve alongside our organizations to ensure people are not just ready for AI, but confident and capable of leading in this new era? This LAN event brings together senior leaders, HR, and talent professionals to examine how to lead when certainty is no longer guaranteed. Guided by insights from guest speakers Matt Murphy (GM, Americas & Chief Partnerships Officer at Adeption) and Meaghan Mahoney (Program Director, Transformation, Intelligence & Enablement at Liberty Mutual, together, we’ll explore how to balance human-first leadership with AI-enabled readiness, surfacing practical insights and community-driven solutions. Participants will leave with: • A deeper understanding of AI's impact on leadership: Explore the tension between human-centered leadership and AI-driven disruption, and gain practical strategies for balancing empathy, judgment, and adaptability with AI-enabled tools. • A new perspective on leadership: Learn to reframe leadership without a playbook as an opportunity, not a liability. You will have the chance to reflect on your own adaptive capacity and experiment with new mindsets for decision-making in ambiguous situations. • Actionable practices for your organization: Discover and develop practical strategies that you can apply immediately within your own teams and organizations to foster a culture of confident and capable leadership in this new era. • A stronger peer network: Connect with a community of senior leaders, HR, and talent professionals who are all grappling with similar challenges, in a highly interactive and community-powered format.
