LEAP HR: Manufacturing Total Workforce on May 19-21, 2026 in Round Rock, United States

Develop the Future-Ready Organizational Blueprint You Need to Attract, Upskill and Engage Your Production Line Workforce and Drive Productivity, Performance and Growth

LEAP HR: Manufacturing Total Workforce is the only event dedicated to rethinking how manufacturers attract, upskill, and retain the people who keep production moving. This is the all-new hub and central platform for HR, talent, and people leaders - an all-in-one experience designed to help shape the next era of HR manufacturing and talent strategy.

Over three action-packed days, HR, TA, and L and D leaders will explore bold strategies and practical solutions to tackle the sector's most urgent workforce challenges. This forum brings together more than 100 senior leaders from 80+ manufacturing organizations, including Stellantis, Johnson Controls, BASF, International Paper, and Air Liquide, to share how they are transforming talent strategies for a new industrial era.

With automation accelerating, skilled trades shortages deepening, and leadership pipelines under pressure, traditional approaches to hiring and development simply won't cut it. Attendees will leave with proven tactics to reduce turnover by up to 50%, cut time-to-fill by half, and build scalable skills academies that future-proof operations.

Through three immersive pre-conference workshops, two dedicated content streams, and 10+ hours of networking, you'll gain the insights and connections you need to strengthen your workforce strategy and deliver measurable impact.

If you're serious about building a future-ready manufacturing workforce, this is the one event you can't afford to miss.
