Gartner HR Symposium/Xpo EMEA is a three-day, strategy-led conference for CHROs and senior HR leaders focused on the new human–AI workforce and the future of performance. The 2026 agenda spans technology, strategy and leadership insights across three core tracks: CHRO leadership, strategy and the HR function; organisational transformation and change; and talent management, skills and performance. Attendees explore how AI is reshaping the enterprise, how to redesign work and operating models, and how to build future-ready skills and high-performing cultures in partnership with the business.

With Gartner research, analyst insight and peer case studies at its core, the conference helps HR leaders turn emerging trends into practical, organisation-wide action.
