The 2026 HRO Today Forum EMEA, organized by SharedXpertise Media, LLC, will take place on November 4–5 at the NH Collection Barcelona Gran Hotel Calderón in Barcelona, Spain. This marks the first time the signature event is held outside the United States, bringing together HR executives from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Themed “H(R)evolution,” the forum will address the rapidly changing business landscape and the pivotal role of HR in navigating transformation. Sessions will include HRD interviews, panel discussions on HR best practices, and “think tank” sessions on current topics. A key focus will be the integration of artificial intelligence in workforce management to engage and retain top performers, as the workforce evolves at a light-speed pace.
Networking opportunities are a core component, allowing leaders from different countries to share professional insights and build peer connections. The event culminates in the annual Awards Gala, one of the industry’s most prestigious events, celebrating inspirational innovators and thought leaders. Awards will be presented for HRD of the Year and Talent Acquisition Team of the Year, honoring exemplary work from across the region.
