Developing talent in an era of transformation
FORWARD is the annual meeting place for HR and Learning & Talent Departments to reflect together on new practices and anticipate changes in the workplace. No abstract speeches, but concrete examples, proven strategies and open discussions on what really works. Organized around the theme of "Tech & Change", FORWARD 2025 will bring together major groups and scale-ups to explore how to move towards an agile, skills-oriented organization, while integrating transformations - whether technological, cultural or organizational.
