The HR Innovator Conference: Rewriting the HR Playbook

09.00-10.00 (60mins)

🥐 Registration & Networking Breakfast

Fuel up for the future: Check-in, caffeine, and conversations with fellow innovators.

10.00-10.30 (30mins)

Opening Keynote & Strategic Framing: The Fragmented HR Tax: Why 'Software' Didn't Fix the People Problem

Most HR departments in 2026 are drowning in "SaaS fatigue." We open the stage by defining why adding more tools hasn't solved the efficiency gap and how to shift from managing fragments to building a unified People Ecosystem.

10.30-11.15 (45mins)

Panel: The Automation Track: AI Agents vs. AI Assistants: From 'Helping' to 'Doing'

Forget chatbots. This session explores the 2026 reality of Autonomous AI Agents that handle 40% of HR operations without human intervention. We’ll look at the "Zero-Admin" roadmap and how to kill the "Ticket Culture" forever.

11.15-12.00 (45mins)

☕ Recharge & Coffee Break

Take a tactical pause to refuel with premium caffeine and turn your afternoon insights into immediate connections.

12.00-12.45 (45mins)

Panel: Fixing the HR Tech Chaos: Integration Over Tools: Stop Buying, Start Connecting

A deep dive with CTOs and CHROs on why the "Best-of-Breed" strategy failed and how to build a data infrastructure that actually talks to itself.

12.45-13.45 (60mins)

🍽️ Networking Lunch

Cross-Industry Networking Lunch: An open forum to exchange insights and build relationships beyond your usual circle.

13.45-14.30 (45mins)

Panel: Talent Density: Ending Burnout Without Hiring More People

In an era of "The Great Re-skilling," we explore how to optimize existing talent capacity. We discuss how "Augmented Colleagues" (Human + AI) are redefining what one employee can achieve.

14.30-14.55 (25mins)

Stand-alone: The Agile Operating Model Beyond the Ulrich Model: Designing HR for 2027

The traditional HR structure is too slow for 2026. Learn how to redesign your HR team around "Flow of Work" rather than "Functions," reducing friction and doubling strategic output.

14:55-15.40 (45mins)

☕ Recharge & Coffee Break

Caffeine, conversation, and a quick mental reset to prepare for the day’s high-impact closing playbook.

15.40-16.05 (25mins)

Stand-Alone: Benefits as Infrastructure: The ROI of Retention: Turning Perks into Strategic Assets

Benefits are no longer just "nice-to-haves." We look at how instant, API-driven benefits create a frictionless employee experience that actually supports business growth.

16.05-16.35 (30mins)

Fireside Chat: The CEO's Perspective: What HR Leaders Get Wrong

An unfiltered conversation with a top-tier CEO on what behaviors build (and break) credibility at the highest level of leadership.

16.35-16.55 (20mins)

Stand-Alone: The 2026 Talent Architecture: Managing "Liquid" Teams and the New Generation of High-Density Talent

Beyond Retention: Building a "Stay-for-the-Mission" Culture in the Era of AI and Borderless Work.

- Mehdi Heidarian, HSE & Leadership Development Professional, NAP Training & Consultancy

10 Nov, 2026

The HR Innovator Conference: Designing Human Organization for 2027

09.00-10.00 (60mins)

A curated networking start focused on shared challenges: workforce risk, AI accountability, leadership bandwidth, and organisational resilience.

10.00-10.30 (30mins)

Opening Keynote & Strategic Framing - From HR Operators to Human Capital Stewards

HR has successfully automated work — but leadership has lagged behind. This keynote defines HR’s next mandate: governance, judgment, and enterprise-level accountability for people decisions in AI-powered organisations.

10.30-11.15 (45mins)

Panel - When AI Runs the Engine: What Humans Must Still Own

As AI agents take over operations, new risks emerge: blind trust, unclear escalation, and diluted accountability. This panel explores where human judgment is non-negotiable — ethics, risk, trust, and leadership credibility.

11.15-12.00 (45mins)

☕ Recharge & Coffee Break

Take a tactical pause to refuel with premium caffeine and turn your afternoon insights into immediate connections.

Cross-Industry Networking Lunch: An open forum to exchange insights and build relationships beyond your usual circle.

13.45-14.30 (45mins)

Burnout is a design failure, not a personal one. This session explores structural levers — workload design, decision velocity, and talent flow — that keep performance high without constant firefighting.

14.30-14.55 (25mins)

Stand-alone - The End of HR as a Service Function: Building the People Control Tower

HR’s future role is orchestration, not service delivery. Learn how advanced organisations are redesigning HR into a strategic control tower overseeing talent, capability, and organisational health.

14.55-15.40 (45mins)

☕ Recharge & Coffee Break

Take a tactical pause to refuel with premium caffeine and turn your afternoon insights into immediate connections.

15.40-16.05 (25mins)

Stand-alone - Retention Is a Lagging Indicator: Measuring What Actually Predicts Staying

As AI agents take over operations, new risks emerge: blind trust, unclear escalation, and diluted accountability. This panel explores where human judgment is non-negotiable — ethics, risk, trust, and leadership credibility.

16.05-16.35 (30mins)

Fireside Chat - Board-Level HR: What Gets Attention — and What Gets Ignored

As AI agents take over operations, new risks emerge: blind trust, unclear escalation, and diluted accountability. This panel explores where human judgment is non-negotiable — ethics, risk, trust, and leadership credibility.

16.35-16.55 (20mins)

Stand-alone - The 2027 People Mandate: What HR Leaders Must Say “No” To
