Dear guest!
Autumn is filled with exiting HR & tech events! About some of them I wrote in my Newsblog lately. Here is another awesome one I will join soon:
The Zukunft Personal Europe, the leading HR & Work Expo on the continent, is going to open its doors this year from September 12 till 14, 2023, in Cologne, Germany. Theme: THE BIG NEW (read the story behind it for yourself on its website).
In this article I provide some highlights, and I list 25+ sessions for you dealing with my favorite topics like data (science), people & hr analytics, artificial intelligence or AI, (future) skills, assessment, curiosity, digital transformation, and decision making.

Final words
As you can see we have again a fine line-up at the Zukunft Personal Europe 2023 in Rhine metropolis Köln. Last year I watched among other sessions for example a nice HR Analytics case study from Wuppertaler Stadtwerke (or WSW, a local energy and public transport company), met some interesting new and known people, and had generally a great time on my two days there.
Check the HR expo for yourself and make up your own schedule with the app: It is easy and thus you will not miss a session (and are aware of crossing times).
And if you will be at the Zukunft Personal Europe in Cologne in the middle of September, and like to meet and exchange thoughts on artificial intelligence in HRM, People & HR Analytics, skills and digital assessment, then drop me a short message and / or connect via LinkedIn.
I am looking forward for exiting days and meeting you.
Have a good day and all the best!
Stefan Klemens
