Session Focus: A reflective discussion on the most impactful topics of 2025 and a strategic look ahead at the critical priorities shaping HR and talent development in 2026

The pace of change in 2025 has been unrelenting, fundamentally reshaping the talent landscape. As HR Talent Leaders, your ability to pivot from reflection to proactive strategy is the difference between organizational stability and market leadership. Join us for this crucial, end-of-year strategic discussion to not only evaluate the impact of 2025—from the integration of AI in talent management to navigating the transition toward skills-based organizations—but to decisively define the HR roadmap for 2026. This highly interactive session is designed to move beyond general trends and into concrete action planning. We will collaboratively address:

• The Velocity of Change: Which 2025 initiatives delivered the most significant ROI, and what unexpected talent challenges demand a permanent strategy shift?
• 2026 Priorities & Investment: What are the must-have, high-impact HR priorities for the new year, and how do we build a resilient roadmap for adaptive workforce planning and critical skills development?

Your insights and strategic alignment are essential. By participating, you will gain a validated framework for your 2026 plan, ensure your talent strategy is fully synced with business goals, and help co-create the agenda for future HR Talent Leader programming that addresses the most complex challenges on the horizon. Don't just close the year—design the next.

This session will offer HR Talent leaders actionable insights from industry leaders on transforming rigid structures into adaptive networks that empower employees across all levels.
