About This Event

The 2026 agenda is organised around six content pillars: the intelligent enterprise (AI, automation and people strategy), the evolving CHRO, the human experience revolution, skills and the adaptive workforce, organisational agility and transformation, and performance, productivity and business value.

Why Attend
HR Tech exists to compress a year of vendor evaluation into three days: 400+ providers demo in one hall, and the demo sessions and solution snapshots are structured comparisons rather than booth pitches, which is what makes a resulting shortlist defensible to a CFO. The keynote bench is operating practitioners - Cisco's chief people officer, the CHRO of Empower Pharmacy, Russell Reynolds' chief science officer - so the AI and automation pillar is argued from deployment experience rather than forecast. Paid HR Tech Intensives cover the business case, operationalising AI and redesigning work, and the free HR Executive Strategy Summit provides a closed-door executive peer track.
