It uncovered what truly drives people to join, stay and thrive, as well as how AI can support and enhance HR teams. It set the tone for a year of meaningful insight, conversation and value.

Event details

HR and Talent professionals came together in Milton Keynes for an engaging networking event focused on insight, conversation and connection. OA hosted the session to bring together industry peers looking to explore challenges, share experiences and stay ahead in a fast-evolving talent landscape.

The event featured a series of expert-led sessions covering some of the most important topics shaping HR and talent today.

Alexandra discussed the importance of business identity, values and culture alignment, highlighting how these factors influence why people join, stay and thrive within organisations.

Hannah explored the evolving talent landscape, including AI-enabled hiring, the move towards skill-based recruitment, and the role of automation in improving efficiency and performance.

Our Group CEO, Laura Clark, also shared insight on the alignment between talent strategy and wider business strategy, and why this has become an increasingly important focus at board level.

Rather than a traditional speaker-led session, the event encouraged open discussion and active networking throughout. Attendees left with practical takeaways, fresh perspectives, and valuable connections to support their ongoing growth and development.
