Thailand’s HR community explores human-centred AI at annual HR technology event

The conversation about AI in the workplace has moved on. The question is no longer whether organisations should adopt it, but how people and machines can work together well enough to build stronger businesses, more engaged employees and more adaptive organisations. The Personnel Management Association of Thailand (PMAT) is convening HR and business leaders to wrestle with exactly that.

The Thailand HR Tech & Conference Exposition 2026 returns to Paragon Hall, Siam Paragon, Bangkok, on 16-17 June under the theme Human • AI Harmony – Leading the Intelligent Workplace. The two-day event will draw more than 100 speakers and over 150 HR and AI solution providers, all converging on a single premise: that the future of work belongs to organisations that master the combination of human capability and machine intelligence before their competitors do.

That premise runs through the programme. While AI continues to automate tasks, accelerate decisions, and lift productivity, the organisers argue that empathy, creativity, judgment, leadership, and purpose remain irreplaceable – and that the real competitive edge lies at the intersection of the two. The event is built around the questions HR leaders are already fielding from their boards: what skills define future-ready talent, how leaders should guide organisations through AI transformation, and how culture, engagement, and wellbeing survive in an increasingly digital workplace.

The content is split across three conference stages. Stage A, Leadership, AI & Future Workforce, examines how leaders can drive transformation through the strategic integration of people and technology, from AI-driven organisational design to building resilient teams. Stage B, People Analytics & Business Impact, looks at turning workforce data into measurable outcomes through predictive HR, talent intelligence, and workforce planning. Stage C, Wellbeing & Culture, turns to the human conditions – psychological safety, engagement, human-centred leadership – that determine whether technology investments actually deliver.

Beyond the keynotes, the exhibition floor showcases solutions spanning talent management, learning technology, analytics, and enterprise AI, with live demonstrations of tools already in use. Hands-on masterclasses and workshops offer frameworks attendees can apply immediately, and the event us a strong opportunity to connect with CEOs, HR leaders, consultants, and technology innovators across industries. Throughout, the emphasis is on real-world use cases – how AI is reshaping recruitment, learning and development, employee experience, and performance management in practice, not in theory.

As organisations continue to redefine the future of work, Thailand HR Tech Conference & Exposition 2026 offers an opportunity for leaders to gain insights, explore innovative solutions, and build meaningful connections to help shape workplaces where people and AI can thrive together.
