It’s almost here: Workday Rising EMEA 2023, at the Barcelona International Convention Centre. It's the place to be to learn about everything new at Workday, meet their partners (including CloudPay), and explore a showcase of innovations in the HR, HCM, and payroll technology spaces.
Across three insight-filled days from Tuesday 14th to Thursday 16th November, you’ll get to enjoy:
- Over 210 speakers including customers, thought leaders and executives, and influential figures such as Natasha Kaplinsky OBE, and Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic
- More than 175 actionable, thought-provoking sessions that will inspire, inform and educate
- Countless networking opportunities with HR and payroll peers from across the EMEA region and beyond
CloudPay has been a certified Workday partner since 2012 and supported many previous events. This is our second Workday event this autumn, and we’re delighted to be yet again playing a major part in the EMEA show as a Gold Sponsor. Read on to discover some of the highlights to look forward to if you’re joining us in Spain.
Unmissable sessions and speakers
In so many industries, the possibilities of Generative AI are changing what we can do as people and businesses. For that reason, it’s natural that much of the emphasis at Workday Rising EMEA will be on how AI can be applied to the HR and payroll landscape. This is reflected in three unmissable keynotes:
- Imagine What's Possible: business psychology professor Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic shares insights on why it’s exciting to be human in the age of AI (Tuesday, 16:00-16:45)
- Let's Shape How the Future Works, Together: a collection of senior Workday officials, including CMO Emma Chalwin, highlight some of Workday’s dynamic solutions comprising AI and machine learning (Wednesday, 09:00-10:15)
- Leadership Insights From Our Workday Community: hear about the future of work and how it’s changing the business world, from speakers including Workday EMEA President Angelique de Vries-Schipperijn, Accenture European Technology Lead Jan van der Bremen, and broadcaster Natasha Kaplinsky (Thursday 16:15-17:15)
We also recommend joining Workday for their special session on Workday AI and Machine Learning Strategy and Vision [PSV1479]. Workday’s Vice President of AI and Machine Learning, Shane Luke, and SVP Chief Technology Officer, Jim Stratton, will be exploring how the technologies can be rapidly adopted and start delivering value quickly (Wednesday 14:00-14:45).
Alongside these keynotes, the CloudPay team will also be sharing their insights, looking at the current state of play from the angle of payroll and the modern pay experience:
- Transforming Global Payroll & HR to Support Fast Growth & Employee Experience: dive into the Workday Feature Adoption Matrix and discover the HCM/payroll integration features that streamline global payroll processes and improve employee experience, with real-world examples from Ricardo Rehkopf, Global Payroll Leader and Independent Payroll Expert and Stuart Gaston, CloudPay’s Solution Consultant Manager (Thursday, 11:15)
