    Track Future of Work

    With more information, advice, and opportunity at our fingertips than ever, the challenge is figuring out what actually matters for your career. In this Learning Lab, LinkedIn leaders will take attendees behind the scenes of the LinkedIn Feed to explore how AI, personalization, and recommendation systems connect professionals with relevant ideas and people. Attendees will learn how LinkedIn thinks about what gets surfaced and why, how the Feed is evolving to better understand their interests, and what that means for how they learn, build professional relationships, and discover new opportunities.
