Human Resources Global Summit 2026
Rethinking work, and the role of HR: the new human imperative (with networking lunch)

Profound technological, demographic and social transformations are redefining work and require us to rethink the role of HR, outlining a new human imperative for organisations. During this meeting, participants will explore how organisational models, skills and tools are changing and how Human Resources can enable business performance while enhancing the centrality of people.

The HR Global Summit represents a unique opportunity to engage with world-renowned experts, international executives and academics from leading business schools, with the aim of exploring the most significant frontier issues that are redefining work and the strategic role of Human Resources in organisations.
