# EX Forum: Unlocking the Business Value of AI for Employee Experience | Amsterdam May 27, 2026 at 4:00 AM - 8:30 AM EDT Atelier the Vijzel at The Playing Circle, Amsterdam AI isn't coming to the digital workplace, it's already here. Join fellow leaders from ASML Holdings and digital workplace and communications consultancy Lithos Partners, for an exclusive half-day forum. You will learn how leading organizations are transitioning to AI-native employee experiences that unlock measurable value – and how they’re quantifying it in terms CFOs care about. AI is reshaping the digital workplace and most EX-teams are stuck defending their budgets with adoption dashboards. Leaders want proof that AI and EX investments are improving productivity and engagement, not just adding to an already bloated tech stack. Hear directly from the [ASML](https://www.asml.com/en) team, who will be bringing insights from their Senior Digital Expertise Manager, Communications Expertise Manager, and Front-end Developer, to explain how they evolved a content-heavy intranet into a focused, AI-powered “lighthouse” that connects teams and delivers clear, measurable results. We will also be putting [Lithos Partners](https://lithos.partners/)' Sharon O'Dea in the "hot-seat", to hear her thoughts on how AI is shaping the employee experience, and how it can actually drive engagement, adoption, and long-term success in internal communications. You’ll leave with new, Employee Experience-leader connections in the Amsterdam area and a clear, actionable playbook to take back to your organization. ## What you'll walk away with - A reusable _Why → How → What_ framework that connects AI and EX investments directly to business strategy, so your roadmap speaks the language of outcomes, not features - A hands-on " _Measure What Matters_" workbook you can apply in your own org the following week - A live look at how leading enterprises are shipping AI-native employee experiences in minutes — not months — to eliminate app-switching, surface knowledge instantly, and give employees one intelligent place to get work done. ## Who this is for Senior leaders in digital workplace, intranet, Employee Experience, HR or IT governance. You're already reporting on adoption and engagement, but when the CFO asks "so what?" you want a better answer. ## Agenda 9:00 AM CEST | Welcome & networking breakfast 9:30 AM CEST | Fireside chat with ASML: learn how they turned a fragmented, content-heavy intranet into a streamlined, AI-enabled “lighthouse” that reduces silos and delivers measurable value 10:00 AM CEST | Lithos Partners Expert Session: A live “hot seat” session exploring how AI is reshaping the employee experience, with practical examples and actionable advice from Sharon O’Dea 10:20 AM CEST | Value Framework Session: A collaborative working session focused on how EX teams can frame and articulate business value, moving beyond adoption metrics toward outcomes leadership cares about. 11:00 AM CEST | Networking Break 11:15 AM CEST | Collaborative roundtable: Focused on real challenges, trade-offs, and lessons learned. 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM CEST | Networking lunch: Connect with peers facing comparable challenges and decisions. ### Meet the speakers: #### Sharon O’Dea — Internal Communications & Digital Workplace Strategist and Co-Founder at Lithos Partners Industry veteran Sharon O’Dea has spent the last two decades advising some of the world’s best-known organisations — from global banks and universities to Magic Circle law firms and central government — on digital workplace strategy, internal... #### Saskia Boeije — Senior Digital Expertise Manager at ASML Saskia advises on internal digital communication channels and strategy and leads work that strengthens ASML’s digital information architecture, constantly seeking new ways to support corporate initiatives.
