Two Days. Top Experts. Critical Conversations.  

Get ready for this year’s Asia Pacific Summit in the vibrant city of Singapore! Join us on May 20-21 for a dynamic lineup of world-class speakers and exceptional networking opportunities. This annual event promises to be an unparalleled gathering of HR and labor relations leaders, experts, and CHROs from across the region. 

As always, our agenda will cover a rich variety of topics from across the Human Resources, and Employee & Labour Relations environment, as well as regulatory updates, economic insights, and best practice sharing from our member companies.  Additionally, we will provide attendees with a taste of our Global Labour Relations education program!

Preparing for turbulent times ahead: Trump's second administration is on track to heighten US-China tensions, potentially reshaping Asia's trade and economic dynamics as well as significantly impacting global companies' operations in Asia. 

Setting the Stage: A Conversation with Barb Runyon  

Great events start with great conversations. This year, we’re kicking off the event with an insightful discussion led by Barbara Runyon, Senior Vice President & CHRO of Gentherm. With a career spanning global brands like PepsiCo, La-Z-Boy, and now a cutting-edge technology company, Barb brings a wealth of experience in shaping high-performance cultures.

In an engaging fireside chat, Barb will share her perspectives on navigating workplace transformation, fostering adaptability, and the evolving role of HR in a fast-changing global landscape. Expect a candid, thought-provoking discussion that will set the tone for the dynamic conversations to come.

Packed with compelling insights and timely discussions, including:  

• David Mann of Mastercard: Back by popular demand, David will engage us with his deep expertise on current economic trends, using cutting-edge technology and real-time data.
