The future of work is already reshaping how organizations think about talent, leadership, roles, and readiness—and HR professionals are at the center of that transformation.

Join Ben, Edwina, and Liuone for an engaging sharing session featuring three leaders’ perspectives on building a future-ready workforce. Each speaker will offer practical insights from their own organization and experience, with a focus on how HR can help people, roles, and leaders evolve as business needs change.

Through focused remarks on workforce planning, succession and knowledge transfer, role design, leadership development, AI-enabled work, and the changing expectations of HR and People leaders, attendees will hear real-world perspectives on how organizations are developing talent from within and preparing for what’s next.

For HR professionals looking to grow their impact, this session offers a timely development opportunity to hear what leaders are seeing across talent, work design, technology, and executive expectations—and to consider how HR can continue to expand its influence in shaping the workforce of the future.

AI has the potential to do much more than answer questions or generate content. This session moves beyond discussions of AI adoption and risk to show how HR professionals can put AI to work solving everyday workplace challenges.

Join Stephen Hong, SPHR, for a live demonstration using Microsoft Copilot and Replit to build three practical HR tools: an Employee Development Assistant, an HR Data Analytics Tool, and an HR Resource Center.

Discover how clear instructions and familiar HR resources can be transformed into useful solutions that support managers and HR teams. You'll leave with fresh ideas and practical starting points for applying AI in your own organization.

What does it really take to elevate the employee experience—and why does it matter more than ever? In this dynamic, panel-style breakout, senior HR leaders and business executives come together to share real-world strategies, lessons learned, and forward-thinking perspectives on creating workplaces where people thrive. 

Through a candid, facilitated discussion, panelists will explore how leading organizations are rethinking employee experience across the entire lifecycle—from onboarding to development to retention—and aligning these efforts with business outcomes. Attendees will hear firsthand how companies are addressing evolving workforce expectations around flexibility, well-being, purpose, and growth, while leveraging data and leadership alignment to drive measurable impact. 

Designed to be highly interactive, this session invites participants into the conversation with live audience engagement and practical insights they can apply immediately.
