Executive Summit

The CHRO Executive Summit agendas are driven by the mission-critical priorities identified among the community. Each agenda is uniquely crafted By CHROs, For CHROs®, and will be available closer to the gathering. All topics and sessions will be inspired by the following themes.

Shaping the Human Impact of AI and Creating New Ways of Work

By 2026, half of HR activities are expected to be automated or managed by AI, prompting HR leaders to reinvent practices and prioritize strategic integration of AI technologies, upskilling and effective data governance to remain relevant. As generative AI transforms HR roles from transactional to strategic, organizations must align AI investments with business goals and adapt their operating models to foster sustainable growth and enhanced workforce capabilities.

Developing Agile Leaders in a Dynamic Landscape

In today’s volatile environment, CHROs must address significant capability gaps in coaching, change agility and trust-building among senior and rising people leaders. By prioritizing targeted, high-impact leadership development interventions—leveraging technology, continuous learning and improved coaching practices—organizations can build resilient leaders equipped for any challenge.

Reinvigorating Culture While Driving Innovation

To foster a culture of innovation, HR leaders are aligning HR practices with organizational goals by leveraging technology, adopting agile methodologies and promoting skill-based rewards, continuous learning and psychological safety. These strategies empower employees to experiment and adapt, enabling organizations to remain competitive and achieve long-term success in rapidly changing environments.
