Executive Summit

More organizations are reinvesting in AI and work is being fundamentally changed as a result. CHROs must lead the change — deciding how people, AI and organization design should come together to unlock workforce capacity and value in a cost-constrained environment.

Join this Gartner analyst-led keynote to explore how to:

• Seize this HR-defining moment
• Accelerate the way work is reshaped
• Build the workforce of tomorrow

Two companies differing in size and workforce took unique approaches to leadership development through coaching, structured programs, and internal training. This session highlights how each organization addressed engagement and readiness, what early feedback revealed, and how they plan to measure long-term impact.

Join this session to hear two leadership development stories on:

• Designing leadership programs for different workforce needs
• Using coaching and feedback to drive engagement
• Measuring success and scaling for future growth

Ongoing change, evolving work models and economic pressures threaten employees' alignment with organizational culture. Savvy HR leaders guide the workforce through change, engagement and development to reinforce desired behaviors and foster employees’ culture alignment and interconnectedness. 

Join this session to learn:

• Measuring the success of changing initiatives

• Driving a culture of transformation

• Equipping all levels of the organization to embed culture values

Gartner research indicates "ready now" successors often become disengaged or seek other opportunities. By choosing "ready enough" successors, leaders can boost engagement and retention without compromising essential skills.

Join this session to discuss:

• Modernizing talent management to meet organizational skills needed

• Accelerating the readiness of the leadership bench

• Growing talent for engagement and performance

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

Gartner research shows less than half of employees are satisfied with their organizations’ career development opportunities. Despite the need to retain and find key talent, the same research shows only 34% of organizations help in visualizing these paths to growth.

In this boardroom, CHROs will discuss best practices in:

• Developing partnerships between employees and managers in career development

• Coaching and career conversations to make employees feel supported

• Building career paths that create opportunities for internal mobility

Recent executive orders have posed significant challenges to the DEI programs that CHROs have developed over the past several years. While it’s not yet clear how courts will interpret the orders, CHROs are tasked with reevaluating their DEI strategies without legal repercussions while also meeting employee demands for sustained access, leadership development, and a positive company culture.

In this workshop, CHROs will collaborate with peers to address:

• Balancing legal compliance and DEI governance with business objectives
• Evaluating the impact of DEI on leadership development and succession planning
• Understanding the needs of the workforce in a sensitive political climate
