About Event

LEAP HR: Retail is the definitive annual event for ambitious, future-focused people leaders from across the industry to discover how to redefine the way we work in retail. Hear how HR leaders from trailblazing brands are enabling their organizations to adapt to fast-changing consumer behavior by finding & energizing the top retail talent that will transform the customer experience in-store and online.

The Leap Difference

We believe the traditional conference format is not fit for purpose, so we’ve ripped it up and started from scratch. When you look inside the following agenda, you will see three main types of session:

Discover sessions offer you the chance to hear the most admired people leaders in Higher Education share the stories of what they’ve done to solve their most pressing HR challenges

Develop sessions provide you with the unique opportunity to have your burning questions answered in a room full of your peers and move beyond the ‘what’ and the ‘why’ to get to the ‘how’

Action sessions are designed to help you work with your team to set a clear, bespoke action plan of what you are going to change when you get back to your business to ensure you get a fast ROI
