Executive Summit

AI is blurring the line between technology and talent, and yet the CHRO-CIO relationship continues to reflect traditional structures where tech leads and people adapt later. If they don’t reinvent their partnership, CHROs and CIOs will become the biggest blockers to the very transformation they’re supposed to enable. Today’s AI transformation is IT-centric, and only 21% of CIOs are planning for AI’s impact on the workforce.

Join this session to hear from Gartner expert, Mark Whittle who will share the latest insights on:

• Crucial elements of a reimagined CHRO-CIO partnership in the AI era
• Successful CHRO-CIO experiments that accelerate AI transformation and value
• Key ‘Blurry boundaries' capabilities that HR and IT must co-own

Most HR systems were built for stability — not for a workforce under constant disruption. As AI reshapes roles, leadership pipelines thin, and budgets tighten, incremental fixes to succession and development fall short.

Join this session to explore how organizations are:

• Rebuilding talent systems for adaptability, not headcount
• Connecting workforce planning to real skill movement
• Turning fragmented education spend into strategic leverage

In a climate of rapidly advancing technology, shifting regulations and economic uncertainty, CHROs should prioritize strategic workforce planning (SWP) for the future success of talent and the enterprise. But Gartner insight shows, 59% of CHROs agree minimal leadership engagement weakens these efforts.

Join this session to explore how to: 

• Bring the right stakeholders together to prioritize SWP
• Focus on strategy, rather than operational workforce planning
• Influence lower-level leaders to shift to long term thinking

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings. You will be matched with peers in your community based on your shared interests and priorities.

Only 16% of employees say they’re thriving in their roles — a staggering number that cannot be ignored. Yet, new insights from O.C. Tanner’s 2026 Global Culture Report reveal how workplaces can become a source of renewal and resilience in uncertain times.

Join this session to discuss:

• Why healthy performance requires both expectations and support
• The 5 behaviors that shape inclusive, high-performing teams
• Why integrated recognition creates a cultural multiplier effect

Today’s HR challenges span skills, AI, structure, and culture, yet many organizations tackle symptoms rather than root causes. This interactive session begins with a live ecosystem health check, then introduces a practical, human-centered framework to align purpose, simplify complexity, and prioritize action.

In this boardroom, CHROs will learn how to:

• Assess their HR ecosystem maturity across capabilities, AI, and operating model
• Gain a practical, human-centered framework to prioritize action
• Define one clear 90-day commitment to accelerate impact

Organizations frequently restructure without redesigning the work—or reinvent work without aligning it to the larger system. This disconnect drains clarity, speed, and performance. How can leaders better synchronize organization design and work design to create momentum rather than friction?

Join this roundtable discussion to explore:

• Clarifying the differences between structure design and work design
• Rethinking work design to enable innovation, adaptability, and future-ready teams
• Effectively aligning roles, processes, and operating models
