As the human resources landscape undergoes a seismic shift, HR professionals need to equip themselves with the tools to navigate a dual challenge: managing the immediate pressures including workforce capability, culture, and pay transparency while simultaneously architecting the organisation of the future embracing technological advances and AI.
This conference will show why, for HR practitioners, the choice is no longer whether to adapt, but how quickly they can lead this change. HR cannot afford to wait and be overtaken by technology. Through defining your HR operating model and integrating AI effectively, HR can be the strategic engine for business growth.
“AI won’t take your job, but someone who knows how to use AI will.”
This event will provide a comprehensive roadmap for the ‘Future of HR’, moving far beyond traditional administrative HR functions to explore how HR professionals must evolve to remain relevant in an AI-driven era.
It will feature dynamic panel discussions with leading HR practitioners, subject matter experts and global academics. These sessions will showcase real-world case studies of companies already successfully deploying AI within HR and their organisations, all while operating within an environment that requires strong governance and trust.
Key topics to be addressed include:
- The Evolving Business Landscape – insights by a leading economist and CEO panel into the rapidly shifting economic environment, geopolitical landscape and technological advances that are driving the need for constant change.
- Transparency in Reward – insights from a leading reward specialist on how to build pay confidence, fairness and trust as a competitive advantage, beyond the Pay Transparency legislation.
- How HR departments are using AI – as the function with the deepest understanding of people, capability, and change, HR is uniquely positioned to lead AI adoption across the business. This practical session will highlight how HR Teams have driven value by shaping their AI‑enabled future.
- AI, the role and the opportunity, for HR – join Professor David Collings, Chair of Sustainable Business, Trinity Business School, and one of the most influential thinkers in the field of HR as named by HR Magazine on five occasions, as he shares not just where AI is going but what organisations and HR need to do
Designed for HR practitioners, this conference will impart forward-looking insights, evidence-based perspectives, and practical strategies to connect today’s people priorities with long-term organisational value.
