AusIMM and KPMG are pleased to invite you to the upcoming HR Connect event: “The HR AI Playbook: Guiding HR Through the New Frontiers of AI and Transformation”

This is HR Connect, reimagined, as a curated, senior‑level forum embedded within GRX26, bringing together influential HR leaders alongside technology and risk perspectives at a time when AI‑driven change is becoming central to organisational performance, culture and governance.

KEYNOTE – Presented by May Leung, Partner, KPMG
The HR AI Playbook Guiding HR Through the New Frontiers of AI and Transformation

As artificial intelligence rapidly reshapes organisations, HR is increasingly being called upon to lead at the centre of transformation, setting direction, enabling capability and ensuring trust, rather than responding from the sidelines.

Join us for a dynamic fireside discussion exploring how HR, technology and risk are converging to shape the future of organisations across the mining and energy sector. The conversation will move beyond hype to focus on real‑world experience.

CASE STUDY – Presented by Nicole La Galia, Group People & Culture Manager at Byrnecut Group
The HR AI Playbook in Action: From Function to Force Multiplier

As AI, automation and digital transformation reshape how work is executed, HR is at a point where we no longer simply support the business but have a real opportunity to increase how we influence performance outcomes. In complex geo-political, compliance and commercially driven working environments (often remote) such as underground mining, this shift is not only practical but business critical. This session presents a case study as to how HR is evolving from a transactional function into a true force multiplier through the applied use of AI, data, and governance.

This is a high-trust, closed-door leadership forum designed for candid exchange and practical insight among senior peers navigating shared challenges.
