Sona’s CTO Ben Dixon breaks down what Agentic AI really is, how it differs from Machine Learning, and why it could revolutionise the Hospitality industry without replacing the people who make it special.Sona invites you to an exclusive evening of insight and collaboration with fellow C-suite leaders on Thursday, 5th December, at The Peninsula, London.
During this festive event, we’ll be sharing key findings from our latest research report, The Big Opportunity: Part 1, which explores how Care providers can build a sustainable workforce for the next generation of carers. The report reveals that 76% of under-25s plan to stay in Social Care for 12+ months, but for 8 in 10, access to the latest tech is crucial for staying with their employer.
We’ll also delve into The Big Opportunity (Special AI Edition), exploring how different levels of Care organisations are embracing AI, and practical ways C-suite can leverage the AI Openness Hierarchy to empower their teams to champion AI and tech adoption.
Neil Eastwood, Author of Saving Social Care, will open the evening in conversation with Steffen, Sona’s CEO, followed by further insights from Stephen Burke.
Nearest stations: Hyde Park Corner (5 minutes walk), Green Park Station (15 minutes walk)
Dress code: Smart casual
Format: The evening will begin with a drinks reception starting at 18:00, followed by a roundtable discussion and Brookland's Two Michelin star three course menu at 18:45
Join us as we discuss how we can use AI to help teams win back time to deliver excellent care.

There are lots of benefits to using dedicated, cloud-based rostering software, but three of the biggest are:
1 Compliance
(I'll add this)
2 Time efficiency
Rota management is one of the most time-consuming parts of a manager’s week. The right software can automate a lot of the manual roster work and reduce the time it takes to complete the tasks that can’t be automated.
3 Higher quality data
Having reliable digital records of when and where staff worked means a more accurate payroll. But it also lets you access valuable real-time intelligence about your people and operations that can help improve future schedules.
4 A better employee experience
Making rosters available digitally to your staff gives them greater control and flexibility over their working hours and fairer access to overtime. It also makes shift-based communication quicker, easier, and less intrusive when they’re not on shift.
Yes. Rostering in Sona accommodates all working patterns, shifts, and role types. So full-time staff with fixed salaries can be scheduled right alongside hourly workers - not just in one location, but across sites, too.
