In October, UNLEASH (formerly HR Tech World) will be hosting its annual two-day conference about the future of work and technology. The upcoming conference will be held in Amsterdam with attendees hearing from HR industry leaders, and high profile companies including Shazam, Avature, Workday, Infor, Oracle, LinkedIn, and many more.

The full agenda for the Amsterdam conference has now been released, along with announcing headline keynote speakers including Esther Perel, and Matthieu Ricard. Marc Coleman, Founder and CEO of UNLEASH, believes “having Esther and Matthieu joining us in Amsterdam will make a big difference and celebrates our new mission to inspire and transform the world for the better.”

We couldn’t possibly cover all 250+ speakers across the 16 stages at UNLEASH World Amsterdam, but here are a few of featured speakers who are delivering interesting talks at the event:

• Amit Mohindra, Former Head of People Analytics at Apple, delivering a talk: “People Analytics: The Moral Imperative.”
