I have participated in many conferences, and I promise you this is one of the best. Built around the theme of “Building The Irresistible Organization,” this conference features some of the most engaging, successful, and thoughtful HR leaders in the world. And our research team puts together a series of workshops, panel discussions, and educational sessions that you’ll enjoy.
Let me give you a little sampling of who has already signed up.
First, we have CHROs from Microsoft, Walmart, Chevron, IBM, Telstra, ServiceNow, DCP Midstream, and The Lego Group. We’ve created a full CHRO track so you can invite your senior executives and have them meet with their peers and participate in a series of strategic discussions.
Second, we have a series of roundtables on building the irresistible organization, including:
- The HR Operating Model of the Future – launches our research into the future of the HR Organization
- An Irresistible Employee Experience-detailed discussions of the world-class employee experience, for employees at all levels
- Becoming a Healthy Organization – what are the world’s top companies doing to build a healthy, vibrant workplace?
- Learning and Development on Scale-we will launch our latest research on high-performance L&D, and scaling approach to practices for impact.
- Recruiting and Retaining The Best – top talent acquisition leaders sharing their secrets and innovations in recruiting.
- HR Technology 2023-a preview of the latest and most exciting HR Tech for next year.
It will be an intimate conference limited to only 400 people, and very few vendors are invited. Our major sponsors include TCS, Eightfold, Workday, Guild Education, BetterUp, Oracle, and Torch.
And the speakers we have are amazing. These include Kathleen Hogan from Microsoft, Donna Morris from Walmart, Loren Shuster from Lego, Nickle LaMoreaux from IBM, Alex Badenoch from Telstra, Jacqui Canney from ServiceNow, Rhonda Morris from Chevron, Tamara Bray from DCP Midstream, and some of the most attractive practitioner leaders in the world.
Some of my favorites are Wagner Denuzzo from Prudential, Dawn Klinghoffer from Microsoft, RJ Milnor from Uber, Michael Arena from Amazon.com, Jennifer Carpenter from IBM, and Rob Cross from Babson College.
USC will also conduct two deep-dive sessions: a deep dive into AI in HR and a session on Strengthening the Culture of Inclusion.
And there is more. In addition to all of our panel and executive sessions, we host a series of pre-conference workshops on topics such as DEI techniques that work, how to build Career Pathways, and in-depth dives into world-class solutions to skills and capability academies.
This is a very global conference. All of our corporate clients will be joining us and we look forward to attendees from all over the world to come. We have two very special events also planned, both in special areas on the USC Campus that you won’t see alone. (The Olympic Coliseum and the Endeavor Space Shuttle).

I know the wait is too long for the pandemic to end, but the time has come. Please join us at the Irresistible Conference and I promise it will be one of your best experiences of the year.
