Start the night with&amp;nbsp;pre-game appetizers and a cash bar,&amp;nbsp;where the conversations will flow almost as fast as the puck. Then we&amp;#39;ll move from handshakes to high-fives as we head to the stands to cheer on the Admirals with fellow MMAC members.&lt;br /&gt;

At the same time, state governments are introducing new regulations aimed at addressing AI&amp;rsquo;s impact on workers&amp;rsquo; rights, creating a rapidly evolving compliance landscape. As AI plays a growing role in employment decisions, employers must navigate both the opportunities and the legal risks that these tools present.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Join&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.amundsendavislaw.com/professionals-Beverly-Alfon"&gt;Bev Alfon&lt;/a&gt;, Labor &amp;amp; Employment Partner, for a practical Breakfast Briefing focused on understanding how AI intersects with existing employment laws and emerging regulatory requirements. This session will provide employers with clear, actionable guidance for managing legal risk while thoughtfully implementing AI tools in the workplace.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Topics will include:&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;How traditional employment laws apply to emerging AI tools&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Recent and upcoming AI-related legislation&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Being able to clearly and confidently tell the story of your work is one of the most powerful skills you can build in your career. When you can name your achievements, explain your impact, and connect your contributions to results, you set yourself up for stronger reviews, better conversations with leaders, and greater opportunities for advancement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;In this Bootcamp session, you will learn a practical and energizing approach to documenting your achievements all year long. Instead of scrambling at performance review time or struggling to articulate your value in the moment, you will build a simple, repeatable method for turning everyday work into a clear story of growth and contribution. Through guided exercises and small group discussion, you will practice converting weekly accomplishments into measurable monthly headlines, then shaping those into quarterly stories that highlight results, leadership, and business impact. You will walk away with a structured process you can apply immediately in your current role and throughout your career.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Attend, and you will:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Most people think resilience is something you are born with. You are either &amp;ldquo;tough,&amp;rdquo; or you are not. In reality, resilience is a skill set, and the best news is you can build it on purpose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;In this after-work workshop, we move past the idea of just surviving a hard week. You will learn how resilience shows up in real work moments: recovering after a setback, staying clear-headed under pressure, and bouncing back when priorities shift. We will break down the difference between endurance and resilience, and explore practical habits that help you stay steady without shutting down or burning out. Expect useful tools you can apply immediately, whether you are navigating tough feedback, constant change, or high-stakes deadlines.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Attend, and you will:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;Join us for a session that helps you build resilience like a professional skill, not a personality trait. Bring the stressors you are carrying right now, and leave with tools to respond with more clarity, confidence, and staying power.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:115%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Guillermo Gutierrez&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
