  Join us! We are hosting a partner event bringing together Thom Singer (Austin Tech Council), Sean Bauld (Austin AI Alliance), and Ellen Cox (our VP of Technology) to reflect on June's Austin AI Alliance Summer Intensive and look ahead at what AI means for the future of work.

  The conversation will cover real takeaways from the intensive, insights from AWT's career fair, and an honest look at how AI is reshaping the job market locally and beyond.

  This event is designed for AWT's partner community and serves as both a debrief and a forward-looking discussion. Attendees will hear directly from leaders who were in the room during the Summer Intensive what worked, what surprised them, and what it signals for Austin's growing AI ecosystem. From there, the conversation pivots to the career fair and the bigger question it raises: as AI continues to transform industries and roles, how do professionals, organizations, and communities prepare? Whether you're a sponsor, a hiring partner, or someone navigating this shift firsthand, this is the conversation that connects what just happened to what comes next and what Austin's tech community can do about it together.

  Attendees will have the opportunity to:

  • Connect with Austin Technology Council, Austin AI Alliance and Austin Women In Technology Board Members
  • Participate in curated networking and career conversations
  • Learn about future opportunities within the Austin local job market
  • Receive career-focused guidance and professional development support
  • Build relationships with our closest Community Partners in the technology space

• Agile Austin Leaders SIG

    Fri, September 04, 2026
  •  
    12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

  Register

  

  Description:
  Meetings are meant to create momentum. But in remote, fast-moving organizations, they often create something else: fragmentation, ambiguity, and rework.

                           ***REGISTER***

  In this engaging conversation, leadership coach and author Kerri Sutey will share practical insights from her book CLEAR the Way: Saving the World One Meeting at a Time. Drawing on workplace research and real-world examples, she explores why meetings so often feel draining and what small design shifts can turn them into powerful moments of alignment.

  This session isn’t about adding more meetings or cutting them all. It’s about intentionally designing clarity so collaboration supports focus rather than competing with it.

  Outcomes:
  Participants will leave with:

  • A simple 5-part framework (CLEAR) to evaluate and improve any meeting
  • One practical shift they can apply immediately in their next meeting
  • A clearer understanding of how everyday meeting habits quietly shape culture
  • A lens for protecting focus time while still collaborating effectively
