Hosted by Lattice, the all-in-one performance platform, this year's conference invites HR leaders to redefine talent and pave the way for people and AI to succeed together

SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON, May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lattice, the best-in-class people platform where people and AI succeed together, today announced the return of its flagship global event, Lattiverse 2026, taking place in San Francisco at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero and in London at the British Library. Lattiverse is the premier gathering for HR leaders, business executives, and innovators reshaping the world of work.
Bringing together HR leaders paving the way for transformative change in their workplaces, this year's event will spotlight innovations that combine the best people and AI tools to help employees grow, managers lead, and companies succeed. 

From workforce intelligence and re-designing talent in the age of AI to building frontier teams, re-skilling, and charting the path toward the workforce of 2030, Lattiverse will explore HR's leadership and criticality in building a future where technology amplifies culture, development, and human potential.

People + AI: Why Lattiverse Matters Now More Than Ever
It's a critical time for People leaders, especially as their businesses deploy AI broadly to their organizations. As they seek actionable ways to evolve their talent strategies, drive high-performance and engagement meaningfully, and embed AI into their organizations effectively, HR is uniquely positioned to guide this transformation with innovation, empathy, and strategic vision. Lattiverse 2026 brings together people leaders and thought partners paving the way.
Lattiverse's keynote speakers are visionary leaders who understand the evolving balance between technological innovation and trust. There will also be breakout content designed to meet the moment – highlighting topics like the latest in workforce intelligence, what a "healthy" culture looks like in today's world, and building new performance models to grow talent in the age of AI.

Through these sessions, participants will hear real stories that provide clear takeaways from the HR leaders already building the people-powered future. 

"Lattiverse is where HR and thought leaders convene to have critical conversations about the new way to work, especially as AI transforms work. It's about leveraging the exciting opportunity ahead and aligning on how to prioritize trust, culture, and humans at the center," said Sarah Franklin, CEO of Lattice.
'"People leaders are positioned to power this transformation in ways that will make work more innovative, productive, and meaningful for their employees and their organizations. I'm excited to engage with the leaders and organizations that will harness the People + AI opportunity. They're defining the future."
