Learn about their intentional approach to designing a transformative talent strategy that works in an AI-driven future.

Guests are welcome! Feel free to bring friends and family, and we encourage you to share this invitation with fellow P&G alumni in the Bay Area to grow our community.

We look forward to seeing you there!
