In an era where technology is fundamentally reshaping the very fabric of our professional lives, the conference on the theme "HR with AI: Shaping the future of work and workplace dynamics" emerges as the essential forum to explore this powerful symbiosis. This gathering is dedicated to moving beyond the simplistic narrative of automation versus employment, focusing instead on how intelligent technologies, from AI and collaborative platforms to data analytics and immersive environments, can augment human creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking.
We will dissect the new dynamics of hybrid and remote workplaces, reimagine leadership and performance for a digital-first world, and forge actionable strategies to build more agile, inclusive, and human-centric organizations. Join visionary leaders, pioneering HR professionals, thought leader academicians and disruptive technologists to co-create a future of work where technology elevates human potential, fosters meaningful connection, and drives sustainable innovation.

Researchers are invited to submit papers on the themes and sub-themes of the conference. Papers that aim to advance theory, conduct empirical research, or undertake qualitative inquiries are welcome.
