HR Think Tank: How can community drive success in business?

In today’s fast-moving world of work, HR is no longer just a function, it’s a force for strategic impact.

Join AfterAthena and Engage as we partner to present your first HR Think Tank, designed to bring together HR leaders and business decision-makers who are shaping the future of people strategy.

Date: Thursday 20th November 2025

Time: 9:00am – 12:30pm

Location: National Football Museum, Manchester

HR Think Tank is a space to connect, share, and discuss what really matters in the world of HR. From the latest trends and upcoming challenges to how other organisations are thinking about their people, performance, and potential.

Our first theme, 'how can community drive success in business?' explores how fostering genuine connection across teams, businesses, and networks can become a powerful tool for growth, engagement and resilience.

Expect real conversations, fresh perspectives, and a chance to build meaningful relationships with your peers.
