2026 Session Recordings

TWO DAYS. OVER 100 SESSIONS. ALL HERE.

On the 29th & 30th of April, Excel London played host to dozens of speakers as they delivered talks, panels, presentations and demonstrations on everything a modern People professional needs to know. Across two Keynote Theatres and four Seminar Theatres - and the Innovation Hub - there was no end to the opportunities for learning about the HR department of today.

If you happened to miss a session (or a few) you wish you hadn't, have no fear! You can find recordings for each of our sessions right here. For our Keynotes, you'll get a full video, while our Seminar sessions feature audio recordings and the slides the presenters used.
