Disruption is Here. It’s Time to Make it Work.

From Prediction to Practice

For the past two years, we have gathered under the banners of Talent, Technology, Turbulence and Embracing Disruption. We spent that time preparing for the inbound waves of change.

The preparation phase is over.

AI is no longer a novelty; it is a colleague. Global complexity is no longer an anomaly; it is our baseline. The future we predicted isn't on the horizon—it is sitting at our desks, logged into our servers, and shaping our culture.

At Talent Summit: The Future @ Work, we are done asking "What if?" It is time to ask "What now?"

Join us as we shift the conversation from reacting to chaos to mastering the new normal. We are moving beyond acceptance to action, providing you with the playbook to thrive in a world where the future is already here.
