HR Policy Global’s Premier European Event—This Year, It’s Personal
Our Summer European Summit is the biggest meeting and networking event we run across Europe… and 2025 promises to be an especially big event as it will mark Tom Hayes’ final in-person event before retirement. As always, the meeting will consist of a series of expert panel discussions, drawn from with HR Policy Global’s own membership.
This year, expect discussions on:
- The Rewritten EWC Directive
- Due diligence (CSRD/CSDDD) after the Omnibus
- Platform Workers – How to Determine Who and Who is not an Employee
- Is DEI still relevant?
- Plus, US and EU Law Updates
There will be a welcome reception for those arriving on Wednesday, June 18th and a Gala Dinner on Thursday, June 19th. The meeting sessions open at 9am on Thursday June 19th and close at 12 noon on Friday June 20th.
