The People Revolution Series
The People Revolution is a fresh event series for People and Talent leaders who know HR is ready for what’s next.
Built from the community spirit of Talentpalooza, this series invites leaders to pause, reflect, and reimagine how we design, deliver, and evolve the people experience in our organisations.
Instead of clinging to outdated models or working in silos, we’ll explore how to create more connected, human-centred approaches—linking Talent Acquisition, Talent Management, DEI, employee experience, and leadership strategy into one cohesive vision.
This is a space for thoughtful change, where HR and Talent professionals show up not just as enforcers of policy, but as designers of culture, experience, and adaptability.
We don’t need to tear everything down. But we do need to build better together.
It’s not just a revolution. It’s an evolution - with purpose.

No comfy chairs and vague ideas here. These are high-impact, sleeves-rolled-up working sessions.

Your Rebel Crew Has Your Back
You’re not in this alone. You’ll join an ongoing crew of fellow changemakers — a community built for sharing wins, asking for help, and calling BS when needed.
We’ll keep the momentum going with check-ins, accountability, and support when you hit the messy middle.
Because rebellion is better when it’s not solo.

"Making AI Work for Real People and Real HR"
A human-first workshop for HR leaders ready to stop waiting and start working with AI — without losing their soul (or their sanity).
We will create a judgment-free, action-forward space where HR leaders can get real about their fears, questions, and roadblocks around AI — and walk away with clarity, confidence, and a plan. No hype, no jargon, no pilot paralysis.
We will cover:
- Understand AI in plain terms — what it is, what it isn’t, and what HR needs to know
- Build literacy, not chaos, in your teams
- Balance curiosity and compliance, while avoiding performative policy-building
- Map the value of AI to the business (yes, we’ll tackle ROI
- Turn fear of obsolescence into new energy for higher-value, more human work
Walk away with a clear picture of where you and your organisation sit on the AI readiness scale
