PMA Perspectives: The Biggest Takeaways from the Second International HR Tech Conference

PMA Perspectives: The Biggest Takeaways from the Second International HR Tech Conference

#MissionPossible: Level Up

We’re back — and bigger than before!

On 18 November, the International HR Tech Conference returned to SpinLab in Leipzig, bringing together an even more diverse and dynamic group than last year. Over 110 passionate professionals joined us onsite, and for the first time ever, we also launched a global Online Edition for participants from around the world.

This hybrid approach allowed even more voices to join the conversation — and became a powerful real-world lesson in resilience, problem-solving, and the future of digital collaboration.

And that’s exactly what HR Tech is all about.

Creating Space for Real Conversations and Real Solutions

Just like last year, SpinLab — The HHL Accelerator proved to be the perfect venue. Its atmosphere of innovation continues to inspire the kind of open dialogue our industry needs.

Throughout the day, participants explored the most pressing topics in Global Mobility and HR Tech – from AI implementation and digital transformation to compliance, recruitment challenges, and the evolving role of HR. Discussions were honest, bold, and deeply solution-oriented.

This conference once again proved that global people collaboration is not a buzzword – it’s a necessity.
