2026 Future of Work Summit

The next era of work will not be shaped by circumstance, but by the leaders who anticipate change, navigate complexity and transform uncertainty into opportunity. 

Designed exclusively for senior legal and HR leaders, general counsel, and C-suite leaders who will decide how their workforces evolve, this interactive labor and employment summit will bring together a select group of decision-makers responsible for shaping the future of their organizations and their workforces. 

Together with Littler lawyers, distinguished guest speakers, and an accomplished group of peers, the speakers will explore the workforce, legal and business issues poised to define the years ahead through a series of dynamic discussions and thought leadership sessions, including:

•  The Algorithm Didn't Do It: Predictive, Generative, and Agentic AI on Trial
•  When Humans and Machines Share the Floor: OSHA's Playbook for Robots, Applied to Agentic AI
•  Remote Control: Employee Demand for Flexibility, Resistance to Monitoring, and Resulting Compliance Conundrum
•  Future Tense: Evolving Accommodation Requests, Protections, and Process in the Age of AI 
•  Restructuring with Intention: Talent Profiling, Upskilling, and the Labor Law Roots of AI Displacement Legislation 
•  Whistleblowing the Budget: AI-Assisted Complaints, Data Privacy, and Legal Spend
•  The Talent Border: Trade Secrets, Global Mobility, and Anti-American Discrimination Risk
•  When Legal Leads the Turnaround: Employment Counsel at the Center of Function-Wide Transformation
•  The Transformation Roadmap: A Practical Playbook for Redesigning Work at Speed

More than a conference, this summit is a strategic forum for labor and employment and business leaders charged with navigating unprecedented workplace transformation. You will leave with actionable insights, practical frameworks and valuable peer connections that can help you address emerging risks, capitalize on new opportunities and position your organization for long-term success.
