The People Track at the UWEBC Annual Conference explores the strategies and practices that help organizations attract, develop, and empower their people.

This track brings together leaders and practitioners working across human resources, talent development, learning and development, leadership, and change management. Sessions focus on how organizations are building strong workplace cultures, supporting employee growth, and leading teams through an evolving business landscape.

From talent strategy and workforce development to leadership effectiveness and organizational change, speakers share practical insights and real-world experiences that help organizations strengthen the people side of their business.

While we finalize the 2026 People Track lineup, we invite you to explore highlights from last year’s sessions below. These clips offer a glimpse into the thoughtful conversations and expert perspectives that make this track an essential part of the conference experience.

Stay tuned as we begin announcing this year’s speakers in the coming months.
