Career Confidence Microsoft CTO: "Don't Learn AI" (Do This Instead) LIVE EVENT - The Bold Move
Everyone is telling you to "learn AI" to save your job. But according to Microsoft’s CTO, that might be the wrong goal.
We are entering the era of "AI Agents" and "Digital Twins", a shift that will make the last 2 years of tech changes look slow. If you are still trying to compete by working harder, you are at risk.
In this exclusive panel, I sat down with Sarah Carney (CTO, Microsoft ANZ), Wendy Zveglic (Salesforce Signature Success), and Carina Parisella (Chief People Officer, Andromeda Robotics) to strip away the corporate fluff and reveal exactly what is coming for your career in 2026.
