UNLEASH 2026 (Paris)

Future readiness is a team sport, not an individual pursuit. Preparing organizations for what comes next requires people leaders to work together in new ways.

The Future Readiness Summit is an immersive workshop experience designed for the leaders responsible for building the future workforce. Bringing together leaders from across HR, talent, learning, operations and technology, the summit combines practical frameworks, collaborative working sessions and guidance on building capability within your teams.

This is not a day of presentations and predictions. It is an opportunity to step out of day-to-day, challenge assumptions, and build a decision amp that can lead your business into the future. Participants will also contribute to the Unleash Future Readiness Collective Group Report 2026 and receive exclusive access to benchmarking, peer intelligence and executive insights throughout the year.

Because future readiness is not a strategy. It is a capability that teams build and decide on together.

The Big Transformation Picture and the Impact of Agents
The HR profession is facing its most significant shift in a generation. Josh opens with the HR 2030 vision - unpacking what agentic AI really means for HR, why superagents are a fundamentally different bet than point solutions, and how the world's most forward-thinking companies are already pulling ahead.

Where AI Is Driving Real Transformation - Right Now
AI isn't disrupting every corner of HR equally. Learn how the seven HR superagents are reshaping the function end to end, and how to find the right starting point for your organization - no matter where you are today.

The Learning Revolution: From Content Library to Dynamic Enablement
The era of pushing courses and hoping something sticks is over. Understand how AI is transforming L&D into a real-time, hyper personalized capability engine - embedded directly in the flow of work. Including a look at digital twins, the four maturity levels reshaping the field, and what it actually takes to become an AI-first learning organization.

Contrary to popular fear, the HRBP role isn't disappearing - it's becoming more powerful than ever. Explore how digital twins and AI are elevating HR Business Partners into high-impact strategic advisors, and why organizations tackling the most complex transformations are betting big on this evolution.

The New HR Operating Model: Ratios, Metrics, and the Role of Humans
