Seven Stages · 2027 Architecture

Every stage answers what an employer does with its people.

The 2027 agenda is built around the way engagement, experience and workforce transformation actually meet inside a large employer — not around vendor categories.

NEW FOR 2027

DESIGNED AROUND
YOUR ROI.

Three structural changes for 2027 — every one of them a deliberate answer to what sponsors told us slows down their day: thin rooms, dead slots, and no guaranteed route to the C-suite.

01 · New Format
The 20/20
Pulse Agenda
20-minute sessions. 20-minute synchronised floor windows. All day. No fixed lunch. No fixed coffee breaks. All seven stages release simultaneously every 40 minutes.
→ 22 guaranteed expo-floor surges across two days
02 · New Space
The Demo
Arena
A dedicated pitching area on the exhibition floor, beneath the mezzanine, running 20-minute demos throughout every floor window. Your demo performs to the floor surge — not against the conference.
→ Peak-attention inventory, not graveyard slots
03 · New Access
The C-Suite
Mezzanine
A gated executive zone: hosted roundtables, concierge 1-2-1 meetings, private lunch tables. Measured in meetings delivered — never footfall.

→ Guaranteed proximity to 30–40 CPOs / CHROs

Three Commitments · In Writing

Sponsor success, guaranteed in writing.

We think a sponsorship is a commercial contract, not a wish. So we put the three things sponsors actually need in writing — every time.

01
A number of pre-arranged meetings, matched to your target list.
Every premium partner gets a named quantity. We build the meeting book from your target accounts, deliver it through the concierge, and hand you a post-event ROI report inside three weeks. You will know exactly what you got.
02
No sponsor ever follows another sponsor.
Every sponsored session sits directly after an unsponsored editorial session that builds the room. You inherit an audience, you don't chase one.
03
No sponsor speaks to an empty afternoon.
The 20/20 Pulse agenda replaces the traditional afternoon graveyard slots. Sessions release into synchronised floor windows — the room fills for the content, then the floor fills for you. You'll see the traffic data.

But don't just take it from us. Hear what our clients have to say!

WORKVIVO


“People will say they like a lot of products that have a lot of different strengths — but when you feel closer to whoever delivers that pitch to you, it makes it easier to make a decision. That's why meeting people face to face matters. ”


Headline Partner

INTERACT


“Face-to-face is something that's become slightly redundant in this day and age — but I personally think it's the best way to meet new connections, build relationships. It's much more natural and personal than sitting behind a screen on Teams. But maybe I'm just old school like that.”

Headline Partner

FIRSTUP


“A lot of companies think, 'I sent this message, people have read it, therefore they're engaged.' But they're not — because that message wasn't relevant to them.”

 


Headline Partner

PLUXEE


“To get so many people, especially post-Covid, to come together and really interact - it's kind of one of a kind. ”

 

 

Platinum Partner

OAK


“Put yourself out there — there might be things you never even considered before. Have a conversation, you might learn something new that triggers something in your own role. You go, 'actually, yeah, that's something I could change' — even if it's not from us. ”


Diamond Partner

POPPULO


“You can't win if you're not in. You have to be here, you have to be willing to have those conversations. We've been run off our feet all morning — which is a great complaint. ”

 


Diamond Partner

STAFFBASE


“StaffBase is important because it aims to reach all employees, wherever they might be. It's quite traditionally hard for organizations to reach shop floor across various locations — so it's really important to be able to engage and interact with that frontline workforce. ”


Gold Partner

WORKVIVO


“We’ve already had some great conversations with some leads we’ve tried for ages to get in contact with and haven’t been able to. Anyone looking to sponsor, if you can’t get hold of your contacts using your SDR’s or outreach on LinkedIn, you’ll get them here”


Headline Partner

INTERACT


“What a fantastic venue, I was lucky to have come here last year, they’ve gone bigger and better this year, its probably the biggest event in the comms industry, we've got the biggest stand here today”



Headline Partner

INDEED


“Today is an amazing opportunity to meet with existing customers and new ones, its really busy today, we’ve met some future clients. On the panel we had KPMG and Knight Frank”




Headline Partner

UNILY


“We’ve done this event 3 years in a row, this is the biggest and the best”

 





Platinum Partner

ACHIEVERS


“Really good show, it's got our ideal customer audience of around 10,000 employees upwards, we’ve had some great conversations, a great show so far. The venue is lovely, last year was good but this is a big event with lots of great opportunities from great organisations”

Diamond Partner

VIMEO


“The event is extremely well attended, our speaking slot had standing room only, all your peers are here”



 

Platinum Partner

POPPULO


“This is our 7th time here, it’s been a really good event, speaking to existing customers and a number of new ones, pleasantly pleased with the footfall on the stand”



Platinum Partner

GATE ONE


“It’s been fantastic, amazing, superb speakers, great insight and good variety. So many likeminded people”

 




Platinum Partner

WAGESTREAM


“I wasn’t even meant to be coming today, I saw the attendee list and thought yes, I’m definitely coming”

 

 

Platinum Partner

DELIVEROO


“We’ve had a lot of people on our stand, its great to see so many companies here, our Global Director was on one of the panels today, seeing him up there was a highlight of the event”


Silver Partner

AWARDCO


“Zoom and teams calls work well, but this is the best”







Silver Partner

ELEC CAR SCHEME


“Its been great having so many people coming around with different opinions and levels of interest, everyone has left smiling”
