HR Tech Intensives. Go Deeper at HR Tech 2026.

If you're an HR leader navigating technology decisions, building the case for AI, or rethinking how work gets done — HR Tech 2026 is where you go to get clarity. It's the world's largest HR technology event, bringing together the sessions, peer conversations, and direct access to the full HR technology market that serious HR leaders rely on to make better decisions and move their organizations forward.

HR Tech Intensives are a premium add-on for registered HR leaders who want to sharpen their thinking, compare perspectives with peers, and move through the event with a shared focus and structure.

How HR Tech Intensives Work

1. Kick Off with a Shared Foundation

Begin with a pre-conference, expert-led forum that frames the key ideas, trade-offs, and decisions tied to the cohort’s focus, giving the group a common starting point for the event.

2. Engage Across the Event

Use suggested touchpoints to stay focused on the cohort’s purpose as you move through sessions, activities, and solutions across HR Tech to give you shared reference points for peer discussion.

3. Wrap Up With A Working Session

Rejoin the group later in the event to synthesize what you’ve seen, pressure-test ideas, and determine what feels credible, actionable, and relevant for your organization.

What You'll Gain

  • Clearer thinking on high-stakes HR decisions, shaped by expert insight and peer perspectives

  • A more grounded view of what is realistic, relevant, and worth pursuing in your organization

  • Stronger peer connections and multiple viewpoints to help you pressure-test assumptions and sharpen decision-making

  • Guidance on what to prioritize across the event, including sessions, conversations, and solutions most relevant to your focus
How to Participate

HR Tech Intensives are open to HR practitioners, consultants, and advisors.

Participation requires pre-registration and an additional fee.
