Business leaders, human resource professionals, and policymakers are set to converge on Lagos to address the impact of artificial intelligence, changing workforce dynamics, and corporate performance at the 2026 edition of the Beyond HR Conference.
Organised by HR Talent Hub in collaboration with DAC Consulting, the flagship two‑day event is scheduled for October in Lagos, under the theme “Beyond HR: Leadership, Growth and Business Success.”
The upcoming summit comes at a critical time for African businesses navigating digital disruption and macroeconomic pressures. With rapid advancements in generative AI, automation, and hybrid working models, corporate leaders are under growing pressure to restructure talent acquisition, upskill employees, and manage changing workplace expectations while maintaining profitability.
Underscoring the need for strategic agility, the Founder and Lead Consultant of HR Talent Hub, Dr Omotola Dayo‑Adedapo, emphasised that business executives must align human capital management with broader corporate goals.
“Organisations can no longer treat people’s strategy as separate from business strategy,” Dayo‑Adedapo said.
