Agenda

A Day of Insights, Innovation and Impact

*Agenda is subject to change · Click any block to expand.

Delegate registration, and networking before the day kicks off.

Welcome to TA Tech Summit 2026. A short, sharp opening setting the context for the day.

A candid conversation between senior TA/HR and technology leadership on the forces reshaping hiring!

C-Suite Strategies for the Future of Talent Acquisition.

Coffee, networking and dedicated time for delegates to explore the Expo, discover solutions and connect directly with technology partners.

30 minutes of technology in action. Selected technology companies showcase what they are building, the problem it solves and how it can create measurable impact across the Talent Acquisition lifecycle. Short, product-led and practical.

Take a break, grab lunch, explore the TA Tech Expo, discover what our exhibitors are building, and connect with a jam-packed room of TA, HR, Technology and Business leaders.

Building What’s Next. Technology founders/CEOs and business leaders discuss what they are building, where Talent Technology is heading, what organisations actually need and how technology will reshape the way organisations hire.

Real Stories. Real Implementation. Real Impact. A practitioner-led conversation focused on what organisations are actually doing with AI, use cases, implementation, adoption, challenges, measurable outcomes and what TA leaders should prepare for next.

A short closing synthesis bringing together the day’s three themes: Leadership × Technology × AI. Key takeaways, what leaders should act on now, and what the next 3–5 years could mean for Talent Acquisition.

A memorable, high-energy closing experience to end the Summit on a strong note rather than simply ending with a thank-you speech.

Last opportunity for conversations, partner interactions and informal networking before the Summit officially closes.
