Integrating AI with Your Products and Your People

Two founders' takes on teams and scaling in an era of fast-moving tech - Presented by the HR & Leadership Development Forum (FACCNE)

As an entrepreneur, you want to move fast and deliver results to your customers.  But physical products and human services take time to build and scale. And the AI tools you picked last quarter may already be out of date.

Founders today are caught in the middle: balancing immediate market demands and real-world execution timelines against technology that constantly changes under their feet.

How do you integrate fast-moving AI into a business rooted in human expertise and physical products—without losing your footing, burning out your culture or sacrificing execution speed?

Join FACCNE and the HR & Leadership Development Forum for an open conversation with two entrepreneurs who actually changed in their products, their teams, and their daily decisions, hosted by FACCNE member TeamWork, an international consulting, technological integration, and innovation firm.

🗓️ Date: Wednesday, October 14, 2026
🕓 Time: 6 pm - 8:30 pm
📍 Location: TeamWork Boston, 45 Bromfield St, 02108, Boston
🎟️ Registration: FACCNE Members: 22$, General Registration: 42$ (including processing fees).
