Repurposing Humanity in the Age of AI. The Home of HR and the Heart of the global HR community, UNLEASH is the destination for anyone who believes in the power of people, technology, transformation and the ambition to create a better future. We inspire and help leaders on what the new working world looks like, from startups to the Fortune 500 and everything in between.

The Expo

The Expo at UNLEASH is more than a showcase of vendors – it is a high-impact marketplace for WorkTech, AI and enterprise transformation. It’s where the world’s leaders, senior decision-makers and global technology partners come together to evaluate solutions, accelerate deals and build long-term partnerships that shape the future of work.

The Show

Featuring four major stages for the first time in 2026, the Show unleashes leaders to tackle what’s next for Humans + AI, workforce design, skills, productivity and growth. The programme is decision-led, making UNLEASH the only gathering capable of revealing what the world’s largest community of senior leaders is prioritising, investing in and buying next.

CEO MESSAGE

Marc Coleman Founder & CEO UNLEASH

Welcome to UNLEASH 2026.

Why all the reinvention? Scale. 2026 is our last year in the Paris Convention Centre; we will have reached full capacity.

In 2027 UNLEASH moves to Hall 1, the largest venue at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. As CES is to Consumer Electronics and MWC is to Mobile, UNLEASH is taking its place at the centre of Work, AI, Jobs and HR.

UNLEASH is the largest global HR marketplace. The leaders at UNLEASH influence over 100 million employees and trillions in enterprise value. The senior leaders who attend UNLEASH are not browsing. They are building.

Yet this year is different. Around the world, leadership responses are diverging.

In the United States, the dominant instinct is velocity. AI is treated as a force of acceleration, flattening organisations, automating middle layers, engineering the autonomous enterprise. Bold, brilliant and at times breathless. The system is being redesigned around the machine.

In Europe, the instinct is stewardship. AI is being woven into governance, trust and human agency. Regulation is not a brake but ballast. The ambition is not merely scale but legitimacy. Human oversight, skills diffusion and cultural resilience are treated as strategic assets, not sentimental luxuries.

In Asia, the focus is integration. Infrastructure first. Sovereign stacks. Automation that upgrades work rather than theatrically replaces it. A pragmatic fusion of speed and statecraft, hardware and humanity.

Three regions. Three strategies. One reality: every enterprise is being forced to redesign itself.

The real question for 2027 is not who builds the fastest model. It is who builds the most trusted system for Work + AI, at scale.

That answer will not come from technologists alone. It is shaped by those who understand organisational design, human capability, capital allocation and cultural resilience together, in the same room.

That is UNLEASH.

See you in Paris.

"This is the conference with global impact, not just activity. And that really matters for us."
