MPL Live: New York City
Will NYC Continue Our Record-Breaking Streak...?
That’s the question we keep asking ourselves. Yes, that’s right—this means we’re bringing the live MPL podcast experience to New York. Expect a live taping, interactive networking, meaningful conversations, and a room full of top HR leaders.
You’ll join a curated group of People leaders from across the city for an afternoon that’s low pressure, high impact. Expect real talk. No fluff. And yes—real giveaways (not boring swag).
Come spend the day with a community that gets what it’s like to lead in today’s workplace. You might walk away with a new idea, a new mentor, or your next big opportunity.
SPEAKERS:
Melanie Rosenwasser (Chief People Officer, Dropbox)
Chelsea Kaden (Chief People Officer, Warby Parker)
Angela Le Mathon (Former VP People Data & Analytics, GSK)
TOPIC: Redesigning a Workplace Powered by AI
“It’s as if you’re driving a car on a road that’s never been taken before, there’s a lot of fog, and you don’t even have a seatbelt.”
This is what a people leader said to us recently when we were talking about AI and the future of work.
There’s no playbook for this stuff.
Teams are being asked to:
- Design for workflows we’ve never seen before
- Re-think what roles are needed, and what skills will matter most
- Keep pace with tools that change every other week
And we’re doing this in real time, often with incomplete information.
This kind of change isn’t just exciting - it’s chaotic.
That's why we're going to talk about what the speakers are seeing, what they’re experimenting with, and what’s still unclear.
