For a CHRO or HR technology buyer the point of Paris is that 250+ vendors - Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, ServiceNow, Personio, Eightfold.ai, Phenom, Docebo, Radancy and Workhuman among them - are demonstrable in one hall over three days, which is the fastest legitimate way to build or kill a shortlist. The mainstage pairs operating CHROs and CEOs from SAP, Ahold Delhaize, L'Oreal and Ryanair with analysts including Josh Bersin, so the AI-in-HR sessions carry both a buyer's and an analyst's read. The Explorer badge's Expeditions put senior leaders inside another company's operations rather than in a session room.

• ✓Seven stages of mainstage keynotes and expert-led sessions across days two and three
• ✓Day-one Summits & Salons at the Shangri-La Paris (Diamond badge)
• ✓Day-one Expeditions - hosted visits inside leading employers (Explorer badge, application only)
• ✓Accelerator Labs and Explorer Tours for senior HR leaders
• ✓Exhibition floor with 250+ WorkTech and HR technology vendors
• ✓UNLEASH Executive Dinner and speaker meet-and-greets for Explorer badge holders
• ✓UNLEASH Intelligence Report included with Explorer and Diamond badges
• ✓Official networking programme, conference community app, UNLEASH Journey Book and a reserved hotel room block

• ★The largest HR technology exhibition in Europe - 250+ exhibitors including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, ServiceNow, Personio, Eightfold.ai, Phenom, Docebo, Radancy and Workhuman.
• ★Day one is genuinely separate programming: Diamond badges get Summits and Salons at the Shangri-La Paris, while Explorer badges get hosted Expeditions inside real employers.
• ★The Explorer badge is application-only, capacity-capped and explicitly closed to vendors - a rare vendor-free peer track at a conference this commercial.
• ★The mainstage mixes operating CEOs (L'Oreal, Ryanair) with sitting CHROs (SAP, Ahold Delhaize) rather than HR speakers alone.
• ★8,500+ attendees from 140+ countries makes it the closest thing to a global HR market snapshot available in a single week.
