20 Oct 2026
Oceanside B Ballroom
HR Executive Strategy Summit
As AI transforms how organizations operate, HR faces a defining question: what role will it play in an AI-native enterprise? Drawing on new research from the SAP SuccessFactors Future of Work Research Lab, including a survey of 500 global C-suite leaders, focus groups with HR executives, and interviews with AI-native founders, this session explores emerging models of the future HR function and the forces reshaping work, talent, and organizational design. Attendees will explore the three pillars of HR transformation, Automate, Redesign, and Reinvent, and gain practical insights into how HR can move beyond optimizing today's processes to creating strategic value in tomorrow's enterprise.
