UNLEASH America will return next week from May 7 – May 9, and it’s not too late to sign up.
It’s set to be bigger than ever in 2024, as over 5,000 leaders, technology buyers, and vendors from over 3,000 leading employers in nearly 100 countries embark on what Unleash Founder and CEO Mark Coleman describes as an “unforgettable journey as we explore topics including courageous leadership, AI, and the future of work.”
In a previous article, we introduced some of the major themes that UNLEASH will address, including AI, leadership, and the battle for talent, alongside three unmissable sessions from the likes of Josh Bersin and Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson.
But aside from the keynote speeches - and the unmissable chance to grab a coffee with any HR editors wondering the halls in search of an interview, hint hint – the chief reason to cast any hesitancy aside and explore getting a ticket is the community, camaraderie, and celebrations from all those who work in the profession.
You’re not just getting a conference ticket – you’re gaining access to a community
Surveys of HR leaders repeatedly report high levels of burnout, and it's easy to understand why. The scale of expectation placed on people leaders has accelerated in recent years, from employees and the C-suite alike.
But HR teams are frequently siloed and many leaders work without peer support. Frustrations go unheard. Achievements go unrecognized. Problems go unshared. And for a profession that is human-centric and people-first, that’s a big issue.
This is why conferences the size and scale of UNLEASH are so important. They are a ready-made platform to meet like-minded individuals and gather diverse opinions in equal measure. They offer old colleagues and friends the chance to catch up, as well as new friendships and professional relationships to blossom.
Whether you feel like the relentless anti-HR or DE&I headlines are getting you down; you can’t figure out the right technology to automate parts of your recruitment process; you want to start attending meet-ups of HR professionals but you don’t know where to start; you want to embark on a major HR transformation but don’t have the change management experience to know where to start; or you just want to meet as many new people in the profession as possible, there is nowhere better than a conference like UNLEASH with thousands of experts and friendly faces in attendance.
Yes, it’s last minute and you’ll have to pack your suitcase in a hurry. But it could be the best decision for your business, your career, or your mental wellbeing you make all year.

More than 200 speakers will present at UNLEASH America 2024. Whether it's employee disengagement, AI anxiety, or recruitment woes keeping you up at night, there’s coverage for every key theme that will shape the HR departments in 2024 and beyond.
