The summit aligns with the third of the five national priorities planned for implementation over the next decade, as outlined in the "Azerbaijan 2030: National Priorities for Socio-Economic Development" approved by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev, on February 2, 2021: "Competitive Human Capital and Modern Innovations."

Dave Ulrich, known as the “Father of Modern HR,” recognized as the #1 Management Guru by Business Week, one of the world's top 10 creative business people by Fast Company, one of the top 5 coaches on Forbes, and one of the top business thinkers globally according to Thinkers50, participated in the Opening Ceremony and panel discussions of the event. He also delivered a spectacular masterclass in Baku for the first time.

The event featured HR Directors from local and international companies, leaders from the world's leading consulting firms, and officials from government institutions, all coming together on a single platform to discuss the latest developments and future expectations in human resources management. Participants gained new insights and experiences on global HR trends, digital HR, artificial intelligence, and the future of learning and development, among other topics of interest.
