TAG's Data Science & AI Society Presents: "Winning in the AI Era: Building the Skills That Matter Most for Data Science & AI Professionals"

June 15, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM (EDT)

Description

As AI rapidly reshapes the workforce, technical expertise alone no longer guarantees career success. Employers increasingly seek professionals who combine data and AI capabilities with adaptability, communication, business understanding, ethical judgment, and the ability to work effectively alongside intelligent systems.

Join leaders from industry and academia for an engaging discussion on how the expectations for data science and AI talent continue to evolve – and what professionals, students, and organizations can do now to stay competitive in a rapidly changing environment.

Panel topics include:

    The most in-demand technical and human skills for AI-era careers 

    How hiring expectations are changing for entry-level, experienced professionals, and senior leaders

    What separates candidates who stand out in today’s market 

    The growing importance of AI literacy across business functions 

    How universities and employers are working together to prepare future-ready talent 

    Practical advice for professionals looking to grow, pivot, or future-proof their careers 

This event is ideal for students, early-career professionals, hiring leaders, educators, and executives navigating the evolving world of data science, analytics, and AI.

With support from Georgia State University, Georgia Tech, Emory University and Kennesaw State University.
