Our past events

See the recap

In 2021, we dramatically expanded the Workhuman Live Online experience to two half-day events for the Americas and Europe. Keynote speakers included bestselling author Adam Grant, Workhuman CEO Eric Mosley, and IBM SVP/CHRO Nickle Lamoreaux. To help HR professionals embrace the next era of the Human Workplace, the event featured five compelling educational tracks and 15 tailored breakout sessions.

Thousands of people gathered online to explore how business objectives have been realigned to the greater good. In this 90-minute documentary-style broadcast, Lisa Ling of CNN, Claude Silver of Vayner Media, and other speakers delved into how companies are fighting back against the global pandemic and the plague of racism.

When COVID-19 hit, we moved Workhuman Live online. In his livestream keynote, Workhuman CEO Eric Mosley delivered an inspirational message of hope amid the crisis. He was joined by unforgettable keynote speakers author Simon Sinek and world-renowned comedian Trevor Noah. In just 90 minutes, the Workhuman Livestream did what seemed impossible: It brought together thousands of people in a celebration of humanity.

In 2019, we celebrated the fifth year of Workhuman Live by convening over 3,200 humans for incredible HR insights (and some killer hot chicken) at a resort in Nashville. On the main stage, keynote speakers like George Clooney, Viola Davis, Kat Cole, Geena Davis, and Brené Brown wowed the crowd. Eight content tracks ranging from Applying the Value of Gratitude to Living Your Best Work Life put the focus squarely on improving human connection.

WorkHuman left its mark on Austin with our biggest, most energized crowd yet. More than 2,400 humans came to see Amal Clooney, Salma Hayek, Simon Sinek, a historic #MeToo panel, and more. Eight content tracks like Thriving Through Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging offered up 50+ breakout sessions.

In 2017 we took WorkHuman to the desert, hosting the conference at a beautiful resort in Phoenix, Ariz. We tripled in size from 2015, with over 1,400 humans gathering to see Former First Lady Michelle Obama, Susan Cain, Adam Grant, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Chaz Bono. And there were more breakout tracks in 2017 – The ROI of Social Recognition, The Organization of the Future, The Crowdsourced Enterprise, Your Whole Self, and The Human Visionaries.

In its second year, WorkHuman was again held in Orlando and doubled in size! We heard inspiring keynotes from Amy Cuddy, Gary Hamel, Shawn Achor, and Michael J. Fox. Breakout tracks were organized into three categories – WorkHuman For You, WorkHuman For Your Company, and WorkHuman for the World. Attendees enjoyed fun surprises in WorkHuman Central – from donut walls to coloring tables!

In 2015, humans gathered in Orlando, Fla. for the inaugural WorkHuman conference to hear keynotes from Rob Lowe, Arianna Huffington, Adam Grant, Nilofer Merchant, and Shawn Achor. “The greatest predictor of long-term happiness is the breadth, depth, and the meaning in your social relationships. And for me, Workhuman hits all of those,” Shawn told us.
