the Human Element Breakfast // People & Talent Edition

A relaxed breakfast to swap ideas on people, talent, and what helps teams thrive. An intimate morning for HR professionals and team leaders who want to talk honestly about what’s changing in how we hire, grow and keep people, and what technology can’t solve for us. Fireside chat: Timo Buetefisch (Cooltra) × Damiana Casile (Dow Jones) We open with a conversation between Timo Buetefisch, founder and CEO of Cooltra, and Damiana Casile, People Business Partners at Dow Jones. Timo has spent almost 20 years building Cooltra from one idea in Barcelona into a European company. He’ll share first-hand what growing a team really takes: the people decisions that shaped the company, the challenges of bringing AI into the organization, and where he sees hiring, retention and the shape of teams heading next. Discussion Coffee Tables After the fireside, you can join a small table: one host, one real challenge facing HR and team leaders today, and only six seats. These aren’t the usual discussion tables. Our hosts come from very different worlds: from L&D to anthropology and humanities experts, Gen Z specialist and more. Each brings a different lens on the same question: what makes work more human? At the end, every host shares three takeaways with the whole room. Joining a table is optional. If you’d rather stay for coffee and networking, you’re very welcome to. Want a seat? Get notified first. Each table has only 6 seats, and they’re first come, first served. Table sign-ups open soon: join the list on the check out page. Who it’s for HR, People, Talent and L&D professionals, and team leaders who manage people, mainly in tech companies.
