Global HR leaders gather in Paris between Oct 20-22 to explore workforce agility, AI, and the next era of talent.
Every October, HR and people leaders from across the globe gather in Paris for UNLEASH World – one of the most influential conferences shaping the future of work.
The 2025 edition, being held from October 20-22, revolves around a clear message: to thrive in the age of AI and automation, organisations must become skills-based, people-centred, and future-ready. Sessions explore how companies can unlock human potential, restructure work around skills, and navigate the growing impact of agentic AI and robotics on jobs and leadership.
Across the agenda, a common thread emerges – success in the AI era depends on how deeply organisations understand, connect and mobilise their skills data.
If you’re looking for the UNLEASH World Paris agenda, here’s a quick overview of what’s happening across the three days. (We’ll soon publish an interactive version of this agenda right here so you can explore it easily on your phone during the event.)
Focus: Masterclasses, forums, and summits
Focus: Main stage and executive sessions
Focus: Deep-dives & Wrap-up Sessions
UNLEASH World is always a window into what’s next for HR – and this year, one theme dominates: skills. Conversations in Paris will explore the reinvention of HR and people-centric leadership, the rise of skills-based organisations, and the implications of agentic AI and robotics on work and roles – all orbiting a central truth: skills are the new operating system for organisations.
Traditional, static job structures are giving way to dynamic, skills-first models that enable faster reskilling, more agile workforce planning, smarter internal mobility, and distributed leadership. The agenda also highlights the rise of modular teams, gig and AI-enabled talent, and outcome-based work, reflecting the evolving nature of work in an AI-driven era.
At MuchSkills, we see this transformation in action every day. Our platform helps organisations map, define, measure, and mobilise their workforce skills, bringing clarity to an area that has long been fragmented across systems, departments, and spreadsheets.
One of this year’s highlights is the UNLEASH Skills Summit, hosted by Stacia Garr, co-founder and principal analyst at RedThread Research. Her session, a half-day, practical, research-led workshop, explores how organisations can move from talking about skills to operationalising them at scale.
According to RedThread research, 58% of organisations still lack a cohesive skills strategy. “It can be devilishly difficult to figure out where to start – and even harder to align the right data, architecture, and technology to support it,” says Garr.
This is where MuchSkills offers a unique solution. We’ve helped governments and global enterprises tackle exactly the questions being asked:
Through large-scale implementations, we’ve seen firsthand how data alignment, skill taxonomy design, and intelligent visualisation can make the shift toward a skills-based organisation both achievable and sustainable.
At UNLEASH World Paris 2025, leading HR and people leaders are demonstrating that the most effective organisations don’t just map skills – they activate them to drive workforce agility, internal mobility, and strategic growth.
MuchSkills’ AI-powered skills intelligence platform enables organisations to:
By integrating all these layers – skills mapping, workforce planning, internal mobility, and L&D – MuchSkills helps organisations operationalise a skills-based approach. This transforms fragmented data into actionable workforce intelligence, with every data point supporting agility and growth. In the age of AI, automation, and digital transformation, this approach ensures organisations remain innovative, adaptable, and future-ready.
Our experience shows that the hardest part of building a skills-based organisation isn’t just about collecting data – it’s about making sense of it.
Too often, organisations rely on scattered initiatives: a new LMS here, a skills taxonomy there. What’s missing is the connective tissue – a cohesive system that aligns skills data with real business outcomes.
That’s exactly what MuchSkills delivers. By combining skills mapping, analytics, and AI-driven insights into one integrated platform, we help organisations transform how they understand and deploy talent.
This approach has earned MuchSkills recognition as a ‘Major Contender’ in the Everest Group Skills Intelligence Platforms PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2025, and it’s why governments and global enterprises trust us to design the next evolution of their workforce.
As thousands of HR leaders gather at UNLEASH World 2025 in Paris, the conversation around skills-based transformation will grow louder and more urgent.
But for those ready to move from ideas to action, the path is already clear.
MuchSkills offers the tools, data models, and practical expertise to turn the skills conversation into measurable outcomes – helping organisations build a connected, adaptable, and future-ready workforce.
The future of work isn’t just about knowing who can do what. It’s about connecting skills, opportunities, and strategy – seamlessly.
