What our past attendees said

What I found particularly compelling was the breadth and depth of the discussions—especially the candid conversations about how AI is reshaping the future of work and what this means for leaders. The dialogue moved beyond technology and into what truly matters: how AI will demand a strategic shift in policy development, governance, and workforce standards.

Reena Talla

Employee Experience Services Lead – APMEA & Europe, Kerry Group

CPO Summit is Malaysia’s premier HR event, bringing together HR professionals to connect, exchange ideas and learn from industry leaders on emerging trends shaping the future of the HR landscape, while discovering best practices that drive impactful change and improve organisational effectiveness.

Cho Chun Loong

Head of Human Resources, NTT DATA eCommerce Solutions Sdn. Bhd.

What stood out most was that many conversations ultimately returned to the same core idea: the future of work is not just about adopting new technologies, but about how organisations lead people through change in a thoughtful and human way.
