✨ KPMG Czech Republic has joined the ABSL Czech community and immediately opened the topics resonating most right now. The aim of the AI Act, what companies must already comply with, and what to prepare for next.

During our first webinar of the year at the end of January, Eva Kubalkova and Martin Capek shared expert insights and asked participants about their readiness for the new requirements. Most attendees already have a person appointed to oversee AI implementation and its responsible use. A strong signal of growing maturity in internal governance and future compliance readiness 👍

They also covered the latest Omnibus developments, including a possible postponement of certain AI Act obligations. While the debate continues, their recommendation is clear:
👉 Do not rely on delays
👉 Start preparing for high-risk systems, effective August 2026

If you need support with AI preparation or implementation, reach out to KPMG. They will be happy to guide you through their AI Act approach and welcome you at their next event, the AI Brunch. 🖱️https://hubs.ly/Q041ybg40

🗣️💡 EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION WORKSHOP
Effective communication isn’t just about talking – it’s about making sure your message lands the way you intend it to.

This workshop is not about abstract theories. It’s a communication lab – a space where you can test, refine, and strengthen your communication skills in a safe environment. Through hands-on practice, feedback, and clear, structured methods, you’ll leave with practical tools that you can apply immediately.

📅 February 27 | 9:00–16:00 CET📍 Prague 4 💰 8 Free seats for ABSL CZ Members 🔗 https://hubs.ly/Q040vqYq0

🧠🌿 MINDFULNESS & MIND FITNESS WORKSHOP
Learn how to train your mind to be more calm, present and focused. That will improve your work-performance and also quality of life and well-being. We live in a fast-paced world with many distractions. There is always more on our to-do-list than what fits into our time, our mind is constantly overloaded. The result is, for example, we cannot stop thinking even when we need to (like when we want to sleep). Mindfulness will teach you how to decrease the fluctuation of your mind, lower the tension in your body and live more in the present moment. It will teach you how to switch-off the autopilot and instead of being dragged by circumstances, consciously create your response.
