BizBash recognized Workhuman Live as one of the 10 Most Innovative Meetings of 2022.

  • The single best conference on the planet for people who care about making work better.Adam Grant

  • I love many facets of Workhuman Live, but my very favorite thing is their willingness to talk about the hard topics. They’re not afraid to talk about the real issues that we’re all thinking about and struggling with – and they’re almost always the first to say, “We’re going there.”Brené Brown
