Workhuman Live 2025 is shaping up to be the premier leadership conference of the year, and its location in the stunning Colorado Rockies makes it the ideal event for HR pros in Denver and far beyond. With this conference in your backyard – and what a backyard! – this is a prime opportunity for leaders in Colorado and surrounding areas to gain strategic insights, build relationships with peers, and engage with human-centered organizational strategy. Whether you’re a global executive or a local Denver people leader looking to elevate your leadership impact, this event is designed for you.

What makes Workhuman Live 2025 the perfect leadership experience?

In a way, you can think of Workhuman Live 2025 as an intensive leadership program in just a few days. It’s a transformative event where leaders from across industries come to lay the foundation for a more effective, human workplace. Under this year’s theme, Elevate, the event will focus on rising above the challenges and disruptions of 21st century leadership to embrace strategic thinking, resilience, and innovation.

You can expect interactive sessions and networking opportunities that provide a unique chance to connect, share ideas, and engage with global HR and people leaders. You’ll leave inspired, with actionable tools and new perspectives on organizational strategy.

The power of the Rocky Mountains

Denver is a thriving hub for innovation, so we knew that the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, Colorado would be a great fit for this year’s gathering. The breathtaking mountain views and tranquil setting offer an ideal environment for deep focus, strategic discussions, and meaningful collaboration.

Far from the noise of the city, the serene atmosphere of the Rockies will allow leaders to step back, reflect, and engage with peers in a way that’s hard to achieve in a bustling urban center.

Denver’s leadership legacy: A master class 

Denver has long been recognized as a hub for leadership development and innovation. Its business community is known for fostering civic leaders into community champions, and the city has produced countless alumni of prestigious leadership programs.

Denver’s reputation and spirit speak to the heart of our mission, making it an ideal fit for Workhuman Live. With a growing startup culture, and a collaborative business community, Denver attracts forward-thinking leaders who value creativity, connection, and personal growth. Its focus on sustainability, work-life balance, and high-quality professional development aligns perfectly with our vision of building more human workplaces. It’s an inspiring backdrop for exploring the transformative power of recognition, purpose, and people data.

By holding Workhuman Live here this year, we are tapping into the legacy of Denver leaders who have committed to engaging with big ideas and making a meaningful impact on their organizations and communities.

Why locals should attend – from HR executives to emerging leaders

Workhuman Live 2025 is designed for anyone who leads, inspires, or supports others – and if you’re in Colorado, you should absolutely reserve a spot.  This event offers invaluable opportunities to grow your professional network and sharpen your skills.

The mix of emerging leaders and seasoned professionals creates a diverse cohort of participants, ensuring that you’ll leave with fresh ideas and a stronger sense of connection to the broader leadership community.

The Gaylord Rockies: a lofty leadership retreat 

The Gaylord Rockies Resort is a destination in itself. With state-of-the-art facilities, luxurious accommodations, and sweeping views of the Colorado Rockies, it offers the perfect environment for learning, networking, and personal growth.

Designed to foster collaboration and reflection, the resort provides spaces for both interactive sessions and quiet moments of focus. That’s perfect for our agenda because it means whether you’re attending a keynote or just connecting with peers over lunch, the setting is (almost) as inspiring as the programming itself.
