Here's why you should join this event
Live conversation with CEOs & CHROs: hear firsthand what truly resonates in the boardroom
Panel discussion Q&A with the C-Suite: ask your toughest questions, get unfiltered answers
Peer learning: exchange approaches with Heads of HR, L&D, and Talent facing the same challenges
Close the gap between the C-suite and the People teams.
CHROs want business impact, not HR jargon. People leaders want to show relevance, not just roll out programs. The success of your organization depends on closing this gap.
This session puts both sides in the same room, with one agenda: turning people strategies into business outcomes. In it, we’ll explore the 6 people challenges that cost organizations the most: time to competence, productivity, retention, leadership, and sales effectiveness. Expect sharp insights, direct Q&A with executives, and peer learning that gives you practical tools to position yourself as the strategic people partner your board wants to hear from.
