What our
attendees say...
What you’ll get
out of the summit
A sharper read on the 2026 People agenda: AI readiness, workforce trade-offs, succession risk, performance pressure, culture proof, and the decisions now carrying real business consequence
Hands-on workshops, closed-door roundtables, and a live vibecoding lab that move past theory and into the work itself: what to redesign, what to measure, what to protect, and where AI can sharpen decision-making
Intentional networking with a carefully selected room of senior People and HR leaders, built for candid peer insight, high-value conversation, and relationships that last beyond the day
Agenda
at a glance
Explore what happens once people strategy leaves the slide deck: where ownership gets tested, trade-offs get harder, decisions slow down, and execution determines whether good intent becomes business impact.
After the strategy deck
Product Marketing Manager
Look at what it really takes for AI to earn its place in the business: workforce readiness, redesigned work, sharper capability calls, and proof that the value is more than theoretical.
The AI value test
Product Marketing Manager
Move beyond being consulted late. Explore how People leaders shape business decisions earlier, influence trade-offs, and bring workforce insight into the rooms where strategy is actually set.
The strategic seat
Product Marketing Manager
Examine how leadership capability needs to evolve as teams absorb more change, performance expectations rise, and managers are asked to translate strategy into day-to-day momentum.
Leadership under pressure
Product Marketing Manager
Bring more substance to the culture conversation: what can be measured, what should be challenged, and how culture shows up in performance.
Beyond the pulse
Product Marketing Manager
Get into why organizational change loses energy after launch, and what People leaders can do to build trust, adoption, and follow-through without adding more noise.
Change that sticks
