Starting Next Week: People and Culture Strategy Summit

January 26, 2026

In partnership with

PEOPLE & CULTURE STRATEGY SUMMIT

Promotional graphic for the "People and Culture Strategy Summit" organized by Hacking HR. The image features a black background with bold white text announcing the event, along with the tagline: "Harnessing the Power of People and Culture to Solve Complex Business Challenges in a Volatile World." At the top is the Hacking HR logo in an orange circle, and at the bottom, it notes the event is "Brought to you in partnership with" Spark Hire and Emtrain, whose logos appear side by side. The design is minimalistic and professional, emphasizing collaboration and strategic leadership in HR.

Next week we are kicking off the People and Culture Strategy Summit, where business and people leaders will come together to explore these challenges openly. From exploring practical approaches to workforce strategy, operating model design, leadership capability, people analytics, culture, trust, and performance enablement, to connecting strategy to real execution

The Summit offers a space to engage in that discussion, learn from peers, and rethink how people and culture strategies can support execution without becoming the shock absorbers of broken systems.

  • When: February 03-05, 2026, 7:00 AM - 11:00 AM Pacific Time

  • Free and Virtual.
