HR World

Summit 2026

After a landmark gathering in Lisbon, we return to Porto in 2026 again with a deeper question at heart: what does it mean to lead with soul in an age of algorithms, ambiguity, and constant change? At a time when AI reshapes decisions, analytics drives strategy, and the boundaries of work are redrawn by technology, HR finds itself not just adapting - but architecting the future. 
From ethical AI and People Analytics to creating thriving culture and talent strategies and molding the next generation of leaders, this summit is where complexity meets clarity, and action begins. This isn’t about trends - it’s about transformation.

Horizon Summit 2026

Horizon Summit enters its fourth year as one of Europe’s leading gatherings for senior HR leaders. After a powerful 2025 edition, the 2026 Summit introduces a significantly evolved format designed for the realities of AI-driven, high-complexity organisations. 
The 2026 program moves beyond traditional conference sessions, offering redesigned plenaries, immersive table-top-discussions, cross-industry leadership exchanges, and hands-on learning zones.  Horizon Summit 2026 delivers a sharper, more immersive experience that equips CHROs to navigate uncertainty with confidence and shape the future of their organisations.
