It's a Human Intelligence experience — bold, immersive, and unapologetically human-first. Because the future of work deserves more than another AI conference.
This year the Los Angeles Regional Consortium is flipping the AI narrative by highlighting and celebrating the irreplaceable role of human intelligence in an A.I.-driven world. The festival will demonstrate how human traits such as critical thinking, empathy, creativity, judgment, and ethics complement and elevate the use of artificial intelligence in education and workforce development.
Why this festival?
Let's celebrate the opportunities that give our LA talent pool and employers the edge when working alongside AI.
AI may help write the résumé, but humans still evaluate potential.
AI may help prepare for the interview, but humans still build connection.
AI may support teaching and learning, but humans still inspire growth.
AI may generate possibilities, but humans still exercise judgment and create opportunity.
AI may automate tasks, but humans still build trust.
Together, these become one conversation: Who do we become as AI becomes more capable? What makes humans worth hiring in an AI-enabled world?
Real Talk. Real People. Real Urgency.
A.I. is already transforming classrooms, workplaces, and entire industries. Yet most conferences are skipping the most important question: how do we, as K-16 educators, students, and industry leaders, respond today? The festival brings together diverse voices from education and the workforce to:
Address education-to-workforce alignment like no one else is
Elevate voices too often left out of the AI conversation — especially students
Co-create solutions to the AI-induced shifts we're experiencing in real time
Capture actionable data to inform policies, practices, and the future of work
Empower people to understand A.I.'s impact and reclaim agency — so we feel in control of A.I., not controlled by it
The Human Intelligence Festival isn't just a conversation — it's a real-time research engine.
Industry leaders who build teams understand the capabilities that help people succeed at work. Can you see how a candidate thinks — not just what they submitted?
Put your organization in front of an estimated 400 K-16 faculty, students, administrators, workforce professionals, and industry leaders from across the Los Angeles region and beyond.
