Future of People at Work Symposium 2025:
BETTER TOGETHER

Building on the momentum of our groundbreaking Detroit symposium in 2024 and ongoing monthly community collaborations, we invite you to join the next chapter of the Future of People at Work (FPW) initiative. This unique event brings together practitioners, leaders, and thought pioneers to shape the future of work through collaborative problem-solving and shared learning.​ The inaugural Detroit symposium sparked dynamic discussions and ongoing initiatives that have continued through our monthly community meetings.  The 2025 symposium will deepen these conversations and launch new collaborative efforts to address emerging workplace challenges.​

June 26-27, 2025 · Salt Lake City, Utah

Hosted at O.C. Tanner
