Phenom announced the newest wave of speakers for IAMPHENOM Europe 2026, the only applied AI event dedicated to human resources taking place on 4-5 November in Paris, France.

The two-day conference gives attendees what other HR events can’t: an inside look at AI agents already in production, automated workflows tailored to specific business contexts and the dramatic results they are already delivering.

Across keynotes, customer sessions, hands-on experiences and peer networking with the continent’s top CHROs and HRIT decision-makers, guests can participate in discussions shaping boardroom agendas, from AI governance, ethics and regulatory readiness to skills intelligence, workforce planning and the evolving role of HR teams. They can also test-drive a range of agents against their own industry, geographies, roles and workforce challenges.

Newly confirmed presenters include:

• Jean-Manuel Soussan, Vice-President, Group Human Resources Director at Bouygues Group
• Max Schultheiß, HR System Owner – Recruiting at EnBW
• David Perring, Chief Insights Officer at Fosway Group
• Katja Borghaus, Chief HR Officer at LANXESS AG
• Daniel Moser, Global Skills Management Lead at Merck KGaA, Germany
• Akhilesh Nair, Senior Executive, Head of Global Talent Supply Chain, Employee DigitalX & Delivery, People & Culture at NTT DATA, Inc.
• Nerine Joubert, Head of People & Culture Product Line, Information Technology at NTT DATA, Inc.
• Anna Mishra, Global Talent Acquisition Digital Lead at PPG
• Amy Ritter, Vice President, Global Talent Acquisition at Thermo Fisher Scientific
• Yvonne Schmitt-Fesenbeck, IT Talent Acquisition and Learning Technology Lead at UCB
• Jessica Aguilar, Global Head of Talent Acquisition & Executive Pipeline at Zurich Insurance

“HR is under enormous pressure to make informed decisions about where AI can create value and what it takes to implement it responsibly,” said Christina Brown, Vice President and General Manager of Global Customer Value at Phenom. “IAMPHENOM Europe will give executives and their teams the practical insight they need to turn AI initiatives into action across work operations, learning directly from leaders who are already applying it at scale.”
