Dallas CHRO Executive Summit

Speakers want action, not just applause. But busy executives don’t have time to learn complex communication models or esoteric storytelling processes — they need a simple, effective speaking framework that can help them not only connect with any audience, but also elicit real change. Enter the "Swarm Effect."

Join this session with Arthur Zards — a thought leader, TEDster and provocateur — to:

• Hone your skills in executive influence
• Adopt a more authentic and engaging approach to speaking
• Take your next presentation from “understandable” to “compelling"

Leadership is the single most influential factor in shaping workplace culture, employee engagement, and performance, but what's the real business impact? In 2025, organizations that invest in leadership effectiveness will see measurable improvements in retention, productivity, and overall profitability.

Join your peers to discuss:

• Data-driven insights on how leadership effectiveness directly affects business outcomes
• How to position leadership as a core part of your employee engagement strategy
• Actionable strategies for HR leaders to secure stakeholder buy-in

All CHROs must now consider AI as they grow the enterprise, but how is AI transforming HR? The challenge is combining data-driven insights with action-oriented solutions to connect people and work. CHROs can implement AI to optimize workforce decisions to drive business performance and decision making.

Join this boardroom to explore:

• Leading and transforming HR using the power of generative AI
• Empowering front line leaders with data to streamline workflows
• Discovering practical strategies to adopt AI for progress

Connect with like-minded peers in a one-on-one setting through Peer-to-Peer Meetings

Organizations will soon find themselves leading or lagging in the Generative AI space with Gartner research indicating that nearly 50% of CHROs are in the late stages of implementing AI solutions. By utilizing technology to anticipate change, decipher real-time insights and enable automated decision-making, CHROs can proactively shape high-performing organizations.

Join this keynote to explore how Gen AI can:

• Predict workforce trends and optimize talent strategies
• Enhance employee experiences before challenges arise
• Engineer organizational and cultural success

Job transitions are career-defining moments that can accelerate — or limit — success. In fact, ADP reports that 29% of recently promoted leaders leave within a month of taking on their new roles if they haven’t received essential support. Yet research also shows that when organizations take an insightful and deliberate approach to these transitions, it fuels extraordinary levels of employee satisfaction, loyalty, and fulfillment. Hear the findings from the 2025 Global Culture Report and participate in a discussion about how transformative job transitions help employees thrive, stay, and do their best work.

Join this session to learn:

• Why organizations should approach new leader job transitions with the same care and attention given to new hires
• What key factors are part of a transformative job transition experience
• How integrated recognition leads to greater empowerment and retention for newly promoted leaders

Join this boardroom session to:

• Boost engagement with personalized, easy-to-navigate benefits
• Integrate high tech with the human touch to manage complexity
