What to expect at Zortify CONNECT 2025
Zortify CONNECT is not your typical HR event. It’s a unique platform where we explore the intersection of human and artificial intelligence, breakthrough HR innovations and foster connections that go beyond business.
This year, we are focusing on three powerful pillars that make Zortify CONNECT a truly transformative experience:
-
Authentic connections. At Zortify CONNECT, we believe that true innovation starts when we put aside our screens and talk face-to-face. Look forward to authentic conversations, powerful networking opportunities and the chance to connect with like-minded people in meaningful ways.
-
Collective expertise for HR innovation. We learn best when we come together, share insights and inspire each other. This year, we’re bringing together industry leaders, HR experts and innovators to explore the future of HR, discuss trends and build a community fueled by collective human intelligence.
-
Bridging the gap between AI and human expertise. AI isn’t here to replace us, but to enhance our potential. At Zortify CONNECT, we’ll show you how AI can empower HR professionals to make smarter decisions, improve workplace wellbeing and manage the complexity of modern HR. From our latest AI tools to hands-on workshops, you’ll discover how human and artificial intelligence can work hand in hand.
