The journey has begun with a single conference in October 2017 and the series has been growing ever since. With 4 conferences throughout 2018 and another 5 in 2019, featuring speakers from 4 continents and 24 countries, the event quickly established itself as the HR Analytics conference at the Old Continent, with a recent forum in New York City in May, expanding that success in North America. Here's what people had to say about it:
In Amsterdam, speakers from US, Canada, Europe and Asia will share the stage over the course of a full day to provide delegates with an unprecedentedly rich cultural and professional experience, with case-studies on best-practices with People Analytics, ONA, Strategic Workforce Planning and data-driven HR from around the World. So, join us!
The story starts with a simple fact – you cannot ignore digitalization and stay competitive in business, let alone be a market leader in any business. We live in a world where a smartphone app can change the market landscape in a matter of weeks. Love it or hate it – you can’t ignore it. Improved workforce productivity and performance, enhanced employee experience and wellbeing, and better HR reporting at a strategic level, are essential to the success of organizations and their ability to survive, now and in the decades to come. All this comes at a time when talented and highly skilled employees are not just becoming harder to recruit and retain, but actively rethinking their desired relationships with employers.
So, the HR has to go digital; and as organizations look to cope with these changes, they are embracing the workforce analytics at ever greater pace. These analytics can be used to improve workforce productivity, enhance employee experience and wellbeing, and increase the impact of HR overall. Undoubtedly, workforce analytics is central to the future of HR, as it lies at the heart of initiatives to personalize the employee experience, optimize organizational design and improve team collaboration and effectiveness.
Now, that is – by any accounts – a pretty big deal.
Delegates come first. Always
A truly outstanding event has SPEAKERS deliver talks with ENERGY and PASSION while showcasing RELEVANT CONTENT, above everything else. We keep it that way.
The core nature of this conference series is the PRACTITIONER'S APPROACH. That is to say, presenting real-life case-studies from the Corporate HR world. We explicitly do not feature any Sponsored Talks, Product Demos, Sales Pitches or Vendor Presentations on the main stage.
DATA-DRIVEN HR & PEOPLE ANALYTICS FORUM is not a trade-show. It is an independently organized HR conference for HR practitioners. It features a variety of Ted-style talks in a vendor-free conference room.
The purpose of the DATA-DRIVEN HR & PEOPLE ANALYTICS FORUM is to be a meeting place of Corporate HR practitioners and other Peope Analytics professionals, to share their views, insights and knowledge among the industry peers. We firmly believe that a vendor-free stage provides the optimal conditions to have a valuable, engaging, fun and stress-free learning experience with colleagues and other HR professionals.
DATA-DRIVEN HR & PEOPLE ANALYTICS conference series brings you the blueprint on how to successfully implement HR Analytics at strategic and tactical/ops level. You will hear real-life examples form the Global Fortune500 corporations, as well as some of the World's leading academic and business minds in the field, presenting data-based facts & figures, trends & tendencies for the near, mid and long-term outlook of the Future of Work.

HR analytics is not yet-another-hype, but a trend that is growing and is here to stay. It is increasingly becoming the “way we do things around here”.
