It’s time to rethink the roles of people and AI in HR.

HR is beginning to see AI not simply as a tool for automating tasks, but as a technology that transforms how decisions are made and trust is built.
As the roles of people and AI evolve, organizations need a new standard for what comes next.

That standard begins with one question.
What does it take for an organization to trust AI?

What makes AI purpose-built for HR different? What should organizations do to prepare? And how will people and AI work together in the future?

GROUND ONE begins with these questions.

From the keynote and ChatHRT to the AI Agent Showcase, real-world HR challenges, and a vision for the future,
GROUND ONE brings every conversation together to explore a new standard for HR, shaped by people and AI.

Why Attend

The new standard for HR starts at GROUND ONE

Starting with the real questions HR teams face today, we explore how organizations can put AI to work with confidence,
and redefine the roles of people and AI.
