We have two dinners in New York this October. Both are about AI. 1️⃣ On Thursday, Oct 22, Hubstaff is hosting a dinner for CEOs and founders. The topic is The AI Productivity Gap. Most teams use AI tools now. But very few can show they’re getting more done. We’ll talk about what to measure, what to ignore, and what to tell your board when they ask about AI spend. 2️⃣ On Thursday, Oct 29, Classet is hosting a dinner for talent, people and operations leaders. The topic is Myths vs. Reality with AI in Hiring. We’ll talk about what AI in hiring really does, what it doesn’t do, and what to think about before you buy. We’ve had this dinner in Los Angeles and Chicago. Now it’s New York’s turn. Both dinners are small and private. No panels and no pitches. Just good people and honest talk. If you’re in NYC and want to join, check our events page: https://fip.events/events

Every CEO we talk to lately has the same problem. The team is using AI. The tools are paid for. Adoption looks great on paper. But when the board asks what it’s actually producing, nobody has a clean answer. More output? More capacity? Better margin? Most leaders are still guessing. On October 22, we’re inviting 15 CEOs and founders to join our discussion in New York. What’s worth measuring, what’s just noise, and how to answer the AI question your board is already asking. Jared Brown, CEO of Hubstaff, and Alex Schutte, their SVP Marketing, will lead the discussion. Hubstaff tracks how work actually gets done across 140K+ businesses, so they’ve seen this gap up close. If you’re a CEO or founder in New York and this sounds like your world, we’d love to have you there: https://lnkd.in/eJaPG-2D.

AI is putting pressure on people teams from two directions right now. Leadership wants efficiency. Employees are anxious about their roles, their pay, their future. And most people leaders are stuck trying to hold engagement and retention steady while that tension plays out underneath them. On October 6th, we're hosting an off the record dinner in San Francisco for CHROs and CPOs to talk through this honestly. No panel, no pitch. Just a small table of peers comparing notes on what's actually working to keep people engaged and performing right now, and what's not. We'll get into where investment in people is paying off, where it's going nowhere, and how to make the case for human investment internally when the mandate from above is efficiency. The dinner is hosted with Kelsey Willock Jones, co-founder and CEO of Aura Finance. If you're a people leader in the Bay Area and this sounds like your world right now, reply here or reach out and I'll send details.

Building an app to support our events has been on my wish list for months. I wanted to get away from manual updates and spreadsheets. I wanted something that made collaboration with our HR tech clients transparent and streamlined. I'm thrilled to share we finally built it, and it's live 🎉 You can check it out here: https://lnkd.in/e7Cvcktq

Everyone has an opinion on AI in hiring right now. Fewer people have actually run it at scale and can tell you what's true. On October 1st, we're hosting a small, invite only dinner in New York for senior talent, people and operations leaders to cut through the noise. Not a vendor pitch, not a think piece. A real conversation about what AI in hiring delivers today, where it still falls flat, and what candidates in high-volume roles like trades, retail, hospitality and healthcare actually think about being screened or interviewed by it. We'll talk about what this shift means for the recruiter role, how team structure and hiring metrics change, and what mid-market to enterprise companies should weigh before rolling AI across their hiring stack. The dinner is hosted by Classet, with Johnny Rooney, Head of Partnerships, and Paul Jones, Head of Growth.

Tonight in Chicago, we're bringing together senior talent, people, and operations leaders for an honest conversation about what AI in hiring actually delivers, and what it doesn't. The event is sponsored by Classet and hosted by Johnny Rooney, Head of Partnerships, and Paul Jones, Head of Growth. What's working in high volume hiring across trades, retail, hospitality, and healthcare, and what companies should weigh up before adopting AI across their hiring stack? One HR leader from a past dinner shared: "I really appreciated the small size of the group, and the enthusiasm of the host. Great conversations across very different spaces, cool learning."

Tonight in LA we're hosting a small group of senior talent, people, and operations leaders for a dinner on AI in hiring. Myths vs reality. Honest conversation about what AI actually delivers in high volume hiring and where it still falls flat. We'll get into things like: 💬 What AI does well today, and where it breaks down in real workflows 💬 How candidates actually feel about being screened by AI 💬 What this shift means for the recruiter role and how hiring gets measured 💬 What to weigh before rolling AI tools out across your hiring stack 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ 〰️ FIP brings HR tech companies and HR leaders together through in person dinners for real conversations, no sales pitch, no selling.

This Thursday, we're hosting a dinner in LA for senior HR, talent, people and operations leaders. The topic is AI in hiring, myths versus reality.

Next Thursday, we're hosting another dinner in NYC for senior talent and people leaders to discuss the future of hiring, how agentic AI benefits both recruiters and candidates. The dinner is hosted by MakiPeople's co-founder and CEO, Maxime Legardez Coquin, and CRO, Alex Kudelka. It's a private, peer only conversation on where agentic AI is already delivering value, where human judgment still can't be replaced, and how leading teams are restructuring roles and hiring criteria as a result.
