11TH SYMPOSIUM ON COMPANIES WITH A HUMAN SIDE
Artificial Intelligence with Purpose
Chair in Management by Missions and Corporate Purpose
March 12, 2026
From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Artificial intelligence is now embedded in our organisations and offers new possibilities for growth, decision-making and serving people better.
When integrated with purpose, AI becomes an ally for human development, shared value and a form of management that is more conscious and aligned with each organisation’s mission.
The Management by Missions Symposium is a platform for reflection, learning and dialogue, alongside experts, aimed at understanding AI and how it can serve human, social and business purposes.
An event for anyone who believes that technology’s real purpose is to serve people and a shared mission.
