The debate over how artificial intelligence will reshape HR is moving from speculation to strategy. Brandon Hall Group™, a leading research and analyst firm in human capital management, has announced its upcoming executive summit, “The Transformational Impact of AI on HR, Learning and Talent,” set for October 16–17, 2025, at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus in Florida.
The 1.5-day event promises an elite mix of HR leaders, L&D professionals, and talent executives exploring the practical, ethical, and cultural shifts that AI is already driving across organizations.
Beyond Tech Hype: Building Frameworks for AI in HR
“The integration of AI into HR, Learning, and Talent Management isn’t just a technological upgrade—it’s a fundamental reimagining,” said Brandon Hall Group CEO Mike Cooke. The summit is designed to go deeper than AI demos, offering practical frameworks and case studies to help HR leaders develop actionable strategies for their organizations.
Sessions will dig into:
-
State of AI Today and Tomorrow: Expert predictions on HR tech adoption curves.
-
Trust and Governance: How to build transparent and ethical AI systems.
-
Real-World Use Cases: From AI-driven recruiting to adaptive learning platforms.
-
Tech Selection: Evaluation and implementation strategies for HR teams.
-
Culture and Compliance: Navigating workforce dynamics and legal pitfalls in AI-driven workplaces.
Michael Rochelle, Chief Strategy Officer at Brandon Hall Group, emphasized that what sets this event apart is the focus on balancing Human Intelligence with AI: “HR leaders must become change agents guiding transformation—without losing the human element that drives organizational success.”
Hard Questions on the Agenda
The summit won’t shy away from candid debates. Panel discussions include:
-
“The Elephant in the Room: Will AI Replace Humans?”
-
“How Not to Become a Statistic: Getting on the Train and Not Being Hit By It.”
These sessions reflect rising employee anxieties revealed in recent workforce studies: while many embrace AI tools, more than half express concerns about job security. The summit’s aim is to equip HR leaders with both strategic clarity and adaptation strategies.
A Venue Built for Breakthroughs
The choice of location carries symbolic weight: the Boca Raton Innovation Campus (BRiC), the birthplace of the IBM PC. The 1.7-million-square-foot facility has long been associated with transformative technology—an apt backdrop for conversations about AI’s role in shaping the future of work.
Why It Matters
AI is no longer an experiment in HR—it’s fast becoming table stakes. Yet, as Brandon Hall Group’s summit underscores, the bigger challenge isn’t just implementing the tools—it’s navigating governance, culture, and human impact. For HR leaders, the summit offers a rare opportunity to pressure-test ideas against real-world experiences and walk away with a roadmap for ethical and effective AI adoption.
