ATC2026 UPLIFT

As we navigate the new standard of work, the challenge is no longer just to keep pace, but to elevate. The World Economic Forum describes this as an era of permanent change, where traditional planning has been replaced by living, evolving strategies. This puts Talent Teams under more pressure than ever.

Organisational Uplift
We’ll lift the lid on how organisations are rethinking structures, systems, and people decisions to meet a new standard of work. For the first time, Talent has a front-row seat to commercial outcomes and organisational strategy. This requires reimagining organisations as dynamic, skills-based systems that orchestrate both human and artificial work, disrupting traditional structures in the process. This is the moment to give your organisation the uplift it has been waiting for. It is a powerful opportunity to ensure your organisation is operating at the contemporary, future-focused standard needed to stay competitive. 

Departmental Uplift
Transform talent functions from process execution into strategic capability engines, leveraging AI to deliver talent intelligence and business impact. As the Skills-Based Org rises, TA must navigate a ‘hiring mirage’: AI-inflated resumes and sophisticated fraud that make real capability harder to verify. In this new era, your function must balance two critical roles: acting as advisory and commercial hiring coaches, while also serving as the primary defence against hiring deception.

Personal Uplift
By taking control of your capability and skill growth, you position yourself to navigate change and open yourself to career opportunities, progression and competitiveness. We’ll prepare you to lead conversations on the latest changes and help you find your place in this mammoth shift.

You will hear from Skills, Capability, Workforce and Talent Acquisition Leaders already uplifting their teams, functions and organisations. Let’s build more resilient talent functions and step confidently into the next era of our careers, so we can Rise Together!
