Altron Digital Business and UKG invite you to an in-person session focused on your employees and the technologies shaping a workforce evolution in 2026 and beyond.
It’s a practical, executive-level conversation on what’s changing, what’s accelerating, and what leaders need to do next to stay ahead.
Expect global perspective, real-world insight, and an agenda designed to help turn big trends into clear priorities.
Why attend
- Get ahead of 2026 workforce megatrends: Hear a global view of the trends redefining workforce management, then translate them into what matters for strategy, planning, and execution in your organisation.
- See the technology in action, not just the theory: Move from concept to practical with a deep dive into the workforce operating platform, followed by a focused product introduction and demonstration.
- Real stories from organisations doing the work: Hear directly from UKG, Altron, and customer panellists about the future of the frontline worker.
