Emerging Technology Professional Development Event

These technologies - such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotic Process Automation, and Natural Language Processing - have been previously introduced, and now this event will focus on the implementation process by defining use cases and how to plan for an evolving workforce with a new skill mix.
