One Day,
Six Journeys
October 6 & 7, 2027 Gare Maritime Brussels
In 2026, we went all in. For 2027, we’re taking that ambition even further.
After five editions in Antwerp, HRtech Unfolded made its Brussels debut with a new format and six distinct journeys across talent, learning, data, culture, leadership and operations.
And what an edition it was. Inspiring keynotes, outstanding award winners and a community ready to connect, share and challenge what’s next for HR. From fresh introductions to conversations that sparked new collaborations, the energy went well beyond the stage.
Together, we explored the ideas, tools and real-world lessons that help build workplaces people want to join, grow in, and stay for.
Now, we’re putting that same energy into making 2027 even more special. More sharp insights, smart tech and connections that turn “we should” into “we did”.
HR’s next chapter is taking shape. Let’s unfold it together.

The journeys
Leadership & strategy
Lead the change, don’t chase it. Organisations are redesigning operating models, rethinking workforce composition, and recalibrating what leadership actually means.
Reward, payroll & legal
Pay people right. Stay compliant. Sleep better. As regulations tighten and pay transparency becomes the norm, organisations are expected to explain not only what they pay, but why.
Data & performance management
Less gut feeling. More good calls. Real-time people analytics, OKRs and continuous feedback loops are redefining how organisations track progress and unlock potential.
Recruitment
Attract. Engage. Hire. Repeat. Employer branding lives in every touchpoint: the job ad, the interview flow, the speed of feedback, the transparency of communication.
Learning & development
Make learning stick, and make it fun. Because skills expire, curiosity doesn’t. Organisations that win are those that embed learning into the flow of work, personalised, adaptive and connected to real outcomes.
DEI & Culture
Build belonging, on purpose. As workforces grow more diverse, organisations must turn differences into strength and make culture something people truly experience, not just describe.
The venue
A fitting stage for this year’s HRtech event.
Gare Maritime at Tour & Taxis has evolved from Europe’s largest freight station into a bright, climate-positive hub. Its timber halls and generous light create a calm, modern space that invites focus.
During HRtech Unfolded, this renewed landmark becomes a place to connect, learn, and explore — a venue where history and innovation naturally meet.
