Lightcast Connect Conference 2023

Here's what our speakers—and you—will be talking about:

Artificial intelligence is on track to revolutionize the entire economy, and this means new skills being taught, sourced, and demanded by educators, communities, and businesses. We’ll talk about how to recognize and apply AI solutions in a way that’s ethical and reliable, so you can trust the way forward in an uncertain future. Top economists will discuss what they’re seeing in the market, and educators and HR professionals will share the impact AI has already had in their spaces and how to adapt.

Skills are the shared language of the labor market—a common thread uniting businesses, communities, learning providers, and individual workers. Looking through a skills lens reduces miscommunication and increases efficiency, meaning everyone can ask for exactly what they need and get exactly what they want. Educators will share how they’re using skills to help students articulate and prepare for their careers, employers will share how skills unlock new possibilities in hiring and workforce development, and community leaders will share how skills enable a better view of their areas to empower the entire region.

Finally, the future of work can feel uncertain, but planning ahead can put you ahead of the curve. Whether it’s the fast pace at which jobs are changing, or coming investment in fields like the green economy and domestic manufacturing, data-based solutions give us a map to see where we are and where we’re going.
