Business Social – May 27

AC Hotel Kingston came alive recently with innovation as Transcend AI Consulting hosted Jamaica’s first AI business conference: AI & The Future of Work. With over 40 companies represented, the event brought together leaders from across industries to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping business and the workforce.

The event kicked off with an energetic Coffee Party, featuring DJ Narity setting the vibe, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere. Attendees then moved into a full agenda of live demonstrations from global technology leaders Microsoft, Google, and Salesforce, alongside insightful panel discussions that explored real world applications of AI and the future of work.

From networking to knowledge-sharing, the conference delivered a strong platform for collaboration, innovation, and forward-thinking within Jamaica’s business community.
