Welcome

LEADING THE FUTURE OF HR

Human Resource Leaders are navigating a changed world. Operating environments have extended, workplace expectations heightened, and businesses have a consequential remit to align their imperatives with collective purpose. Now, as industries start to look forward once again, leaders are readying their strategies and models with a revitalised energy to pursue growth, strengthen empowerment and embrace innovation.

This industry leading event is designed for HR leaders and delivered by HR Leaders. For a one-day, cross-sector conference and networking event, the Forum invites an esteemed delegation of executives and world-class speakers to come together and drive powerful, case-based discussion and insight. Together, we will interrogate the challenges and opportunities underpinning the industry, arming attendees with the tools to lead as a people-first business.

Why Attend

  • The HR Leaders Forum secures national and global speakers of unmatched quality and immense authority. Our attendees are charged with shaping the conversation, armed with an array of real-time engagement tools we facilitate.

 

  • Every session is independently moderated to facilitate candid discussion and debate. The programme is designed to provide attendees with valuable opportunities to connect in-person with industry peers and the minds shaping business.
