2026 DMEC Compliance Conference: Man vs. Machine: AI Edition

In this interactive panel game show, we’re putting generative AI and seasoned compliance pros head-to-head in real-world absence management scenarios. As AI tools become more embedded in the workplace, employees are increasingly turning to them with questions about FMLA, PFML, ADA accommodations, and more—ranging from straightforward policy clarifications to deeply complex, emotionally charged situations.

While AI can quickly handle basic queries and streamline routine processes, it still struggles with the nuance, empathy, and legal interpretation required for the tough stuff. That’s where HR and compliance professionals step in—bringing emotional intelligence, legal clarity, and human judgment to the table.
Expect laughs, insights, and maybe even a few surprises as we play our way through the future of HR. Spoiler alert: the real winner is a workplace where tech and humanity work hand in hand.
