“The world of work is evolving, and large-scale global events such as PANGEO are essential for helping to define new opportunities and ways to navigate the road ahead. This coming-together of influential companies and minds provides an extremely valuable opportunity to engage in a meaningful forum about the evolving and exciting future of work. I am very pleased to be a part of it, and I am looking forward to all of the inspiring revelations that come out of this year’s event,” said Dr Khanna.

This will be followed by a full day of panel discussions covering everything from future-proofing your business, to key trends shaping the future of remote work, accessing new markets, staying compliant while pursuing international growth and employee retention.

Emerging HR technology will also be a key area of focus, and the conference will explore the ways in which it is empowering companies to grow and evolve. The panellists for the event are a confluence of the best brains in HR, technology, business and finance in the APAC region, coming together to share ideas and inspire growth and change.
