66th ThAFF Practical Exchange (Live Event): "AI is eating our jobs – How companies can position themselves now"

Artificial intelligence is changing our working world faster than many expected. But what does that mean specifically for companies, managers, and employees?

We cordially invite you to 66th ThAFF Practical Exchange in the form of an open fishbowl discussion on September 23, 2026, 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM at N3 Engine Overhaul Services GmbH & Co. KG in Arnstadt. Optionally, a 40-minute factory tour is available afterwards (this will be confirmed during registration).

Upon your arrival, you can expect a welcome snack, refreshing drinks, and initial stimulating conversations. Around 3:00 PM, after a brief practical introduction, we will dive directly into an open, lively, and solution-oriented discussion.

To stimulate discussion, we offer, among other things, the following theses:

  • AI job loss thesis – scaremongering or reality?
  • Employee adaptability – excuse or real limit?
  • The future of young professionals – Who will be the experienced specialist tomorrow?
  • Irreplaceable human skills – what remains when AI takes over routine tasks?
  • Medium-sized businesses vs. corporations – disadvantage or strategic advantage?
  • Obligation to use AI – Grossly negligent or excessive? 

They can expect a format that not only inspires but also provides concrete actionable impulses, practical, honest and without buzzword bingo. 

The free event is aimed at Management and Human resources manager From companies based in Thuringia. We look forward to welcoming you!
