The HR World Summit UAE is the room where the UAE’s CHROs and senior business leaders make the calls that shape the workforce of the next decade. Convening 200+ CHROs, HR Directors, Talent Leaders and senior executives in Abu Dhabi on 5 November 2026, the summit sits under the theme Human-Centered Leadership in an Era of Intelligent Transformation exploring what it actually takes to keep people at the centre of organisations being rewired by AI. The agenda is built around the calls HR leaders are quietly making this year: redesigning roles around skills instead of titles, hitting Emiratisation targets without diluting performance, choosing between AI copilots and full automation, rebuilding employee experience for hybrid teams, and stress-testing leadership benches against compound change. You’ll leave with frameworks, peers, and the conversations that don’t happen at conferences this big.
HR World Summit UAE brings together the entire HR and workplace transformation ecosystem, HR leaders, CHROs, talent experts, technology providers, policymakers, and business executives to address the biggest priorities shaping the future of work: workforce transformation, employee experience, AI-driven HR, talent development, leadership, and organisational growth.
