Chamber of Commerce Hawaii

YP Professional Development Class (PDC) - Beyond the Buzz: Practical AI, Human Trust, and the Future of Work

Chamber of Commerce Hawaii’s Events unite the business community to enhance the state’s economic climate by fostering success for businesses and business leaders alike. Attend or sponsor a Chamber event to promote your company, build brand awareness, market to your target demographics, expand your network and invest in your local community.

Join us for an exciting YP PDC: “Beyond the Buzz: Practical AI, Human Trust & the Real Future of Work" presented by Kaiser Permanente, featuring guest speaker Chase Conching, Principal & Creative Director at Library Creative. Chase will guide us through how AI is reshaping the way we work—cutting through the noise to share real strategies that deliver results today.

You can expect to learn about:

A plain‑English snapshot of today’s AI landscape: what the technology really does (and doesn’t do).
A practical, three‑step workflow you can apply immediately to streamline research, writing, analysis, and more—without drowning in apps that change every quarter.
Trust‑first guidelines for using AI transparently and responsibly, so teammates, clients, and stakeholders stay confident in your work.
Real‑world examples (from solopreneurs to global teams) showing how strategic automation frees people to innovate, collaborate, and lead.

Whether you’re new to AI or already integrating it into your workflow, this session will equip you with the insight and tools to take your next step with purpose. You'll walk away with a practical checklist to help you pinpoint what to automate—and how to lead with empathy and integrity in a tech-driven world.

Registration includes breakfast consisting of croissant and pastries, lilikoi fruit salad, yogurt with granola, orange juice, and coffee.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with other professionals. See you there!
