From Day One: Philadelphia 2026

NAVIGATING THE REVOLUTION IN HR: HOW PEOPLE LEADERS CAN BE EMPOWERED IN AN ERA OF AI AND RAPID CHANGE

In the accelerating digital transformation, people leaders have the opportunity to shape the new world. AI isn’t just changing how work gets done, it’s redefining the nature of work itself. As automation takes on more of the routine and the repeatable, it’s opening more space where humans can excel. The challenge for HR leaders is to rethink how their companies operate and evolve, as well as responding to shifting employee expectations and legitimate concerns about an uncharted future. Rather than asking how people will keep up with technology, the question now is how technology can elevate people, enabling more meaningful collaboration, enhanced creativity, faster learning, and smarter decision-making. At our conference of HR leaders, we’ll explore new frontiers in talent acquisition, skills-based workforce planning, learning and development, employee well-being, total rewards, and inclusion. All of these probing conversations will explore what it means to design a workplace for the next era: one where technology enhances, rather than replaces, human potential.

The conference will take place on September 22, 2026, at The Union League of Philadelphia.
