Programme

Technology has levelled the playing field. What now decides which organisations win is not the technology they can buy, but the capability they can build in their people. As BCG put it this year, technology has become replicable; the judgement, creativity and adaptivity that determine how well people use it have not. The 14th HR Bootcamp Conference, themed EDGE: The Human Advantage in the Age of Machines, explores what that advantage is and how HR can build it.

This is a bootcamp, and it is built to do more than inform. Day One sharpens the judgement to lead people through the age of machines. Day Two builds the practical skills to act on it. You do not leave with notes. You leave abler.

Join HR professionals, business leaders and workplace innovators as we explore new ways of working built on collaboration, clarity and intelligent decision-making. This year’s event offers the knowledge, tools and community to help you lead confidently in a world where people and technology work better together.
