The Future Workplace Forum
Where bold thinking meets real action.
The Future Workplaces Forum, brought to you by HRNZ in partnership with the University of Auckland Business School, is Aotearoa's premier gathering for HR and people leaders ready to move beyond conversation and into action. This is where strategy meets people, bold thinking meets practical reality, and ideas turn into lasting change.
Held over a full day, the Forum brings together mid and senior HR leaders for a programme of compelling keynotes, candid panels, and sharp discussion — alongside an interactive expo showcasing the latest in HR services and solutions. There's genuine time to connect with peers, share what's working, and think collectively about what comes next.
Whether you join us in person or online, this is your space to contribute to — and be shaped by — the conversations that matter most to HR in Aotearoa right now.

Widening the Gate - Creating Equity in Workplaces
12 November, Pullman Auckland Hotel & Apartments, 8am - 6pm
Equity isn't a nice-to-have. It's the difference between organisations that thrive and those that don't. More people accessing opportunity means more organisations built to last — and one day at the Future Workplaces Forum could change how you think, lead, and act. Here's how to get it right.
