The conference is designed to provide actionable strategies for talent acquisition, talent management, and HRIT professionals. According to Christina Brown, Vice President and General Manager, Global Customer Value at Phenom, the speakers were chosen for their hands-on experience. “These speakers are actively solving real problems with AI across HR and IT,” said Brown. “You'll hear honest lessons about their wins, their challenges and how they’re applying AI and agents built specifically for HR to succeed.”
The detailed agenda is built around ten key spotlight areas, moving from foundational concepts to strategic execution.
Agentic AI and Talent Transformation: A central theme is the practical application of AI agents across the talent lifecycle, including candidate screening, onboarding, and executive search.
Governance, Skills, and High-Volume Hiring: The agenda dedicates significant focus to the operational and ethical challenges of AI deployment. This includes sessions on building AI governance frameworks, leveraging skills intelligence for workforce planning, and deploying AI to manage continuous, high-volume hiring demands in sectors like retail and healthcare.
Technology Integration and Experience: Further topics aim to close the gap between technology investment and business outcomes. Sessions will cover creating intelligent candidate experiences, empowering internal career mobility, and strategies for integrating AI platforms with existing HR tech ecosystems to eliminate data silos.
Beyond the educational sessions, IAMPHENOM 2026 is structured to facilitate professional growth and peer connection. Attendees will have access to exclusive HR technology unveilings and live demonstrations, providing a first-hand look at emerging tools.
The event also includes several structured networking opportunities, such as a welcome party, sponsor networking events, and a customer-exclusive gala and awards ceremony. Attendees who participate in the sessions will be eligible to receive SHRM and HRCI credits after the event.
The announcement of IAMPHENOM 2026's initial speakers and agenda marks a significant step in preparing the HR industry for its AI-driven future. By bringing together practitioners who are implementing these technologies today, the conference aims to provide a clear, actionable blueprint for organizations looking to harness applied AI to hire faster, develop better, and retain talent longer.
