For decades, the systems that underpin work benefits, healthcare, & financial stability were built around a single assumption: one job, one employer, one steady income.

That assumption is breaking.

Today, millions of Americans earn across multiple roles, platforms, & income streams a structural shift often referred to as the "microshifting workforce." But the systems designed to support them haven't kept up.

As this shift accelerates, the gaps are becoming harder to ignore: lost coverage, fragmented care, & systems that weren't designed for movement.

At the same time, new technologies, particularly AI, are beginning to reshape how individuals navigate fragmented systems, manage care, & coordinate across multiple sources of income.

Join us for a conversation with leaders Ellyn Shook, former CHRO of Accenture; Susan Podlogar, former CHRO of MetLife; & Tim Massa, EVP & CHRO of Kroger. Moderated by Bradley Tusk, founder & CEO of Tusk Ventures, with Felix W. Ortiz III, founder & CEO of Smirk Health.

This panel brings together leaders across tech, healthcare, & the future of work to explore what happens when foundational systems fall out of syncand what's being built to replace them.

This event is a part of #NYTechWeek a week of events hosted by VCs & startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com." data-next-head="
