Agenda

Coming Soon

The CHRO Executive Summit agendas are driven by the mission-critical priorities identified among the community. Each agenda is uniquely crafted By CHROs, For CHROs®, and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.

Keeping up with business demands and mitigating change fatigue in a dynamic economy

CHROs are leading the workforce through a series of pivots as enterprises adjust to a rapidly evolving technological landscape and changing economic demands. It's critical to keep the workforce engaged while avoiding burnout.

Attracting the right talent and upskilling the workforce in the age of AI

With the rise of artificial intelligence comes a new focus on talent. CHROs need to find the right people to embrace new capabilities while upskilling the workforce to deliver business on business goals.

Developing today's leadership for the trends of tomorrow

A new generation of managers are entering the workforce as more tenured leaders are retiring. With leadership development as a top focus, CHROs want to ensure people leaders have the skills needed to thrive.

We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming in-person gathering
