The event themed: ‘Curators of the New Business Landscape: Building an Agile Future’, focused on the role HR leaders have in shaping the strategic direction of the organisation – providing nimble solutions to navigate today’s diverse and complex business environment.

Attendees from 35 countries walked away with ready-to-implement strategies to create more harmonious, productive working cultures. Highlights included a powerful and authentic keynote from Dr. Susan David and Wanda Hope; demonstrations in our HRD Tech Village; engaging conversations in our Thought Exchange discussions and delicious cocktails at Appical’s networking drinks among many more.
