The FE HR Summit & Awards sits right at the centre of this change. It brings together CHROs, CXOs, HR specialists, tech providers and solution architects to decode how HR can rethink talent for an AI-driven era balancing automation with empathy, designing smarter hybrid work, and building skill-based, inclusive workplaces that attract and retain top talent. Through high-impact sessions and case studies, the summit will address core challenges such as ethical AI in HR decision-making, employee experience and wellbeing, future-ready leadership, and large-scale upskilling and internal mobility. The accompanying awards recognise organisations and leaders who are already setting benchmarks in areas like talent acquisition, culture, diversity, learning, and digital HR, giving attendees concrete examples to learn from and a powerful external platform to showcase their own people-first innovations.
