The Inspire Podcast — How-To Series
Going to HR Tech 2026 in Las Vegas, October 20-22? Or just getting started on your 2027 HR strategy?
In this how-to, I used Claude Opus, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini to pick the sessions, speakers, and expo booths worth our time, then had Claude compare all three plans so we could lock in where they agreed. ChatGPT found five competitors Claude missed, which is a good reminder to ask more than one model.
Bonus at the end: using AI to plan the fun side of Vegas, including concerts and an itinerary poster that got Inspire CEO Chris Wollerman’s family excited to come along.
Will you be at HR Tech? We would love to do a quick 10-minute meet-and-greet. Pick a time here: https://calendly.com/chriswollerman/10-minute-meet-greet-in-vegas?back=1&month=2026-10
