PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

HR World Summit 2027 Programme

The questions shaping the future of HR, leadership and organisations.

We’re bringing together some of the world’s most respected HR leaders, business executives, researchers, and innovators for two days of thought-provoking keynotes, executive discussion, and practical insights.

The programme will be built around the issues and opportunities defining work now – real issues, real voices, real impact.

The full agenda and speaker line-up will be announced progressively.

Main Stage

Inspiration and big-picture thinking from global leaders on the trends reshaping work, leadership and organisations.

3 Elective Tracks

Deep-dive sessions across People Strategy, Future of Work, and HR Transformation – explore the topics that matter most to you.

Masterclasses

Hands-on learning with experts and practitioners to build new capabilities and take away practical tools you can use.

The questions shaping the future of work, including:

  • When AI starts acting rather than advising, who is accountable?
  • Are traditional talent models still fit for purpose?
  • How does leadership change when information, expertise and decision-making become increasingly distributed?
  • Can cultural norms accommodate automation and augmentation in changing economies?
  • What is the full value equation for skills in an agentic world - who decides and who benefits?
  • What should HR in a competitive advantage-driven organisation be championing, and why now?
  • How do organisations preserve trust while increasing the use of workforce data and AI?
  • What does a genuinely human employee experience look like in an AI-first workplace?
  • What skills will distinguish leaders in 2026–28? And what needs to be rethought or unlearned?
  • What does productivity mean when human and AI work are increasingly interwoven?
Our programme is designed through conversations with CHROs, senior HR leaders, practitioners, researchers and partners across Europe. We prioritise evidence, diverse perspectives and real-world relevance, because the best ideas come from bringing different perspectives into the room.

HR World Summit 2027 Programme

The questions shaping the future of HR, leadership and organisations

We’re bringing together some of the world’s most respected HR leaders, business executives, researchers, and innovators for two days of thought-provoking keynotes, executive discussions, and peer learning. The prorgam will be built around the issues senior HR leaders are dealing with now – not around generic topic categories. 

The full agenda and speaker line-up will be announced progressively.

The 2027 programme will tackle practical questions shaping the future of work, including: 

  • When AI starts acting rather than advising, who is accountable?
  • Are traditional talent models still fit for purpose?
  • How does leadership change when information, expertise and decision-making become increasingly distributed?
  • Can culture remain a competitive advantage when organisations are changing continuously?
  • What should HR measure when traditional engagement metrics no longer tell the whole story?
  • How do organisations preserve trust while increasing the use of workforce data and AI?
  • What does a genuinely human employee experience look like in an AI-first workplace?
  • What skills will actually become scarce as AI capabilities accelerate?
  • How should organisations redesign jobs, teams and structures for AI-enabled work?
  • What does productivity mean when human and AI work are increasingly intertwined?

 

Our programme is developed through conversations with CHROs, senior HR leaders, practitioners, researchers and partners across Europe. We prioritise subjects where organisations are making difficult decisions today — and where there is genuine value in bringing different perspectives into the room.
