Keynotes
The Nordic Moment — Why the CHRO Is the Most Important Leadership Role of 2027
AI is not just a technology story — it is an organisational leadership story. And at the centre of that story sits the CHRO. This opening keynote makes the case for why HR leadership has never mattered more, what the most effective Nordic CHROs are doing differently right now, and what the next 12 months demand of every senior HR leader in this room.

Agentic HR — What Happens When AI Starts Acting on Its Own?
We have moved well beyond chatbots. Autonomous AI agents are beginning to execute complex HR workflows — across recruitment, onboarding, compliance and people analytics. This keynote addresses what that means for HRIS infrastructure, what the EU AI Act demands in practice in 2027, and how to build governance frameworks that protect your people while unlocking genuine operational efficiency.

The Nordic Proof — Cases, Commitments and What We Do on Monday Morning
The Summit closes with the most honest session of two days: Nordic organisations sharing what they have actually built, what it cost, and what they would do differently. Not the polished version — the real one. You leave with a clear answer to the only question that matters: what do I do next?

Tracks
Track 1 – Strategy & People leadership
The Nordic CHRO in 2027 — A Peer Conversation About What Is Actually Working
The most forward-thinking HR functions in the Nordics have stopped describing themselves as a support function. They are building HR like a product — with users, feedback loops, measurable outcomes and a clear mandate from the CEO. A peer-level conversation for CHROs and HR Directors about how to restructure the HR team, win the internal political argument, and build a People Architecture fit for an AI-first organisation.

Track 1 – Strategy & People leadership
The CHRO as Architect — Redesigning HR as a Strategic Product Organisation
No presentations. No slides. A closed, facilitated peer conversation exclusively for CHROs and HR Directors — an opportunity to speak openly about the real challenges of leading HR transformation right now. What is working? What has failed? What do you wish you had known 12 months ago? Chatham House rules apply.

Track 2 – Talent Acquisition
AI-First Recruitment Tools in Practice — What Actually Works in a Nordic Context
The market is flooded with AI recruitment tools — but which ones are delivering real value? This session cuts through the noise with honest, practitioner-led assessments of the tools currently in use: AI screening, skills inference engines, predictive hiring models and candidate experience tools. What to buy, what to build, and what to avoid.

Track 2 – Talent Acquisition
Internal Mobility as a Competitive Advantage — Redeploy Before You Recruit
The most overlooked talent pool in most Nordic organisations is the one already on the payroll. This session makes the business case for building a structured internal mobility programme — and shows how AI-powered skills mapping is making it operationally feasible for the first time. Includes a live Nordic case study.

Track 3 – Learning & Development
Measuring Learning ROI — How Do We Prove That L&D Is Driving Business Value?
L&D has always struggled to demonstrate its impact in the language of the boardroom. AI is changing that — both by enabling more precise measurement and by raising the stakes on whether learning actually changes behaviour. This session gives L&D leaders practical frameworks for measuring impact from skill acquisition to organisational capability growth.

Track 3 – Learning & Development
Skill Velocity — How to Build an Organisation That Learns Faster Than the Market Changes
In a world where AI is generating new capabilities faster than traditional learning programmes can respond, the competitive advantage belongs to organisations that can build skills faster than their competitors. This session introduces the concept of Skill Velocity and gives L&D leaders practical tools for building it into their operating model.

Track 4 – HR Operations & Compliance
Agentic HR in Practice — What Happens When AI Starts Running Your HR Workflows?
Autonomous AI agents are no longer theoretical — they are beginning to execute real HR workflows across recruitment, onboarding, performance management and employee support. This session explores which processes are ready for automation, which require human oversight, and how to build governance architecture that keeps people protected while unlocking genuine efficiency gains.

AI Governance in HR — Building the Frameworks That Protect People and Enable Progress
Automation bias — the tendency to trust algorithmic outputs without sufficient scrutiny — is one of the most underestimated risks in HR technology. This session gives HRIS and HR Tech leaders practical tools for building governance frameworks that address bias, ensure procedural fairness, and maintain human judgment at every consequential decision point.

Closing Panel Discussion: The Nordic Proof — What Are We Actually Building, and Is It Working?
Leaders from Nordic organisations who have put AI to work in HR share their honest experiences. Not the case study version — but what really happened, what it cost, and what they wish they had known earlier. No slides. No sales pitches. Just practitioners and leaders talking to each other.
