Diamond
Summits & Salons at Shangri-La Paris
Requires Diamond Badge
Senior rooms before the main event opens. Built for leaders who want focused discussion, peer exchange and sharper decisions before the full UNLEASH experience begins.
The UNLEASH 2026 agenda is organized around the questions leaders are bringing to Paris: AI, skills, operating models, workforce strategy, reward, data, technology, talent and transformation.
Across three days, UNLEASH brings together senior Summits & Salons, hosted Expeditions, 7 conference stages, the exhibition, product discovery, startup showcases, analyst insight and implementation deep dives.
This is not a content schedule. It is a decision map for the year ahead.
The goal is simple: help leaders leave Paris with clearer priorities, stronger partners and better decisions.
Three days. One UNLEASH journey.
UNLEASH 2026 starts with depth before scale.
Day One gives selected leaders access to focused experiences across Paris: Summits & Salons at Shangri-La, hosted Expeditions inside leading employers, Executive Dinners and selected invitation-only partner programmes.
Days Two and Three bring the full HR world together at Paris Convention Centre, Hall 7.3, across 7 stages, the exhibition, marketplace, product discovery, startup showcases, analyst insight and practical implementation.
Day One: depth, access and proximity before scale
Before the main conference and exhibition open, Day One gives selected leaders a more focused way into UNLEASH.
