Explore what happens when machines replace human creativity and strategic thinking.About this EventHolding Human in the Age of AI: A MarCom Leader’s Guide to the Machine EraOver the past decade, technology has steadily reshaped how people communicate, create, and collaborate. The rapid rise of generative AI is accelerating that shift even further. As more tasks become automated, there is growing concern that critical thinking, creativity, and the distinct perspectives that make individuals valuable contributors can begin to erode.For marketers and business leaders, this moment presents both opportunity and risk. AI can dramatically increase efficiency and open new possibilities for innovation. At the same time, overreliance on automated systems may unintentionally reduce the very qualities that help organizations connect with audiences, build trust, and stand out in competitive markets.In this thought-provoking session, Dan Mushalko, Executive Producer and Facilitator at the Innovative Leadership Institute and founder of Mushalko’s Radiophonic Laboratory, explores how AI is reshaping the workforce and influencing personal and professional identity. Drawing on nearly five decades of experience in marketing, communications, and media, he brings together insights from science, technology, and storytelling to examine how organizations can adopt new technologies without losing the human perspective that drives creativity, innovation, and meaningful connection.Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the cultural and professional implications of AI adoption, along with practical perspectives on how leaders and marketers can embrace emerging technologies while protecting the uniquely human qualities that make their work effective.Event DetailsDate: Wednesday, April 8Time: Doors Open + Networking 5:30 pm // Session starts at 6:00 pmLocation: COhatch Westerville, The Garden Room // 240 S.
