Navigating the new era of HR and the workplace

Welcome to HR Tech Festival Asia Online 2020, the largest virtual conference for the professional HR and workplace technology communities across Asia-Pacific

COVID-19 has become the accelerator for one of the biggest workplace transformations for our lifetime. Fundamentals have changed and the future will be driven by smart technologies and leadership agility for organisational success.

Year 2020 is an exceptional year and to show solidarity with the HR community, HRM Asia is offering every HR professional in our community with complimentary access to our flagship conference and exhibition, HR Tech Festival Asia Online.

Let’s chart the course together with over 70 of the world’s leading HR thoughtleaders and the largest gathering of HR and business leaders from the region. Join HR luminaries such as Dave Ulrich, Brian Sommer and Abhijit Bhaduri as they discuss the future of HR and how organisations can emerge stronger post COVID-19.

In collaboration with Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower, HR Tech Festival Asia Online 2020 will also examine the future of work in ASEAN by bringing together senior government representatives, heads of unions and employer organisations and the International Labour Organisation for the three days to discuss skills studies, employment facilitation and HR capability building across the region as they prepare to shape their workforces beyond the global pandemic.

To kick off the event, Josephine Teo, Singapore’s Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Home Affairs, will be making the keynote address on September 29.

Away from the conference streams, a concurrent online exhibition, the largest online HR tech exhibition in Asia, will hope to inspire you and allow you to gain unrivalled access to the latest technologies, trends and solutions as you navigate the new era of HR and people management.

The road ahead in the new norm will be challenging. So, spread the word and let’s band together at HR Tech Festival Asia Online 2020 to rethink, reimagine and transform your navigation strategy to spur post recovery and cope with the new norm.
