Agenda
All times are in CET
Part 1: How to build a future-ready recruitment process
10 min
Welcome | The new HR baseline: speed, fairness, proof
HR expectations have shifted: faster decisions, higher fairness standards, and clearer documentation. In this opening session, we’ll set the context for the day and the practical challenges we’ll return to across recruitment, performance, and compensation.
Mikkel Lundø, CEO of Assessio
20 min
Fireside chat | The recruitment trade-offs: how to balance prediction, fairness, cost, and experience
Best practice is easy to agree on until stakeholders, budgets, and time pressure hit. This session is a conversation about the real trade-offs in recruitment and the decisions they force: predictive quality, fairness, cost control, and candidate experience.
Helene Hoppe Revald, Director of Psychometrics, and Iben Mollerup Skov, Lead Consultant, Professional Services, at Assessio
20 min
Presentation | Keeping recruitment human with AI as your co-pilot
When used effectively, AI can enhance recruitment without replacing human judgement. Learn how AI can support everything from drafting job ads to faster, fairer candidate selection— all while keeping a human-first approach. You’ll leave with practical insights on improving efficiency and candidate experience without losing your company’s voice.
Guy Stewart, EMEA Sales Talent Acquisition Lead at Teamtailor
Part 2: Turn HR data into defensible decisions
20 min
Fireside chat | Making performance reviews work for HR: from annual ritual to strategic decision engine
Most performance frameworks are built around compliance, not value. Join Alban and Thibault to explore how to restore meaning to performance reviews — from reducing subjectivity to building a model that works for employees, managers, and the organization alike.
Thibault Vilon, CPTO at Assessio and Founder of Elevo, and Alban Romer, organisational transformation consultant and Founder of New Chapters
20 min
Fireside chat | How HR tech enables fair and compliant compensation
With the new EU legislation and growing expectations of pay transparency, compensation has become a key HR priority. This session demonstrates how HR technology can support more structured, objective, and defensible pay decisions by connecting data across performance, skills, and development.
Thibault Vilon, CPTO at Assessio and Founder of Elevo, and Vicky Peakman, Founder and Director of Fair Pay Partners
Part 3: Live demos: see what the future of HR looks like
30 min
HR tech in action: concrete use cases across recruitment, learning, wellbeing, and talent
Experience practical demos from innovative HR vendors including Elevo, Teamtailor, Assessio Bloom and Assessio. Expect real workflows and real outcomes—across recruitment, learning, wellbeing and talent management—in a format built for HR leadership.
Assessio, Assessio Bloom, Elevo, Teamtailor
Part 4: The HR playbook for 2026: AI, hiring, and the workforce of the future
30 min
12.30 Fireside chat | How AI is reshaping the future of hiring
A forward-looking discussion on where AI is genuinely changing hiring—and where it creates risk. You’ll leave with clear priorities for 2026: what to adopt, what to challenge, and what HR leaders should put governance around now.
Hung Lee, pioneer and community curator behind the newsletter Recruiting Brainfood, and Emma Engebretzen, HR Director at Assessio
45 min
Fireside chat | What actually works: building a future-ready workforce
No polished success stories. Just honest lessons. In this panel discussion, our participants explore how hiring must evolve from focusing on past experience to identifying future potential. What actually works at scale? What needs rethinking? And how should organisations balance technology, human judgment, and new definitions of quality to build a workforce ready for what’s next?
Fabian Åhlin, Senior Manager, Global Talent Acquisition at Fortum Group, Kasper Bjerg, Head of Global Talent Acquisition at Arla Foods amba, and Emma Engebretzen, HR Director at Assessio
