HR Partner Day 2026
keynote speaker

laugh, think and play more for life and business success.

Em Stroud, The Comic Coach.

Running a consultancy is rewarding, but it isn’t always light. Em will show you simple, practical tools to bring more laughter and levity into your work, helping you communicate, collaborate and have more fun, with your clients and your own team.

You’ll explore the 12 different ways adults play and what that tells us about how we work, plus ways to shift your thinking so you feel happier, less stressed and more resilient.

In a world that can feel hard, you’ll leave with ideas you can use straight away, and a reminder that moments of joy and laughter are always within reach.

Panel discussion
panel discussion

making partnerships work for your HR consultancy.

Hear from HR consultants about how they use partnerships such as hireful, Breathe and others to help grow their businesses and add value for clients.

They’ll share how they introduce partner solutions, position them with clients, create additional revenue opportunities and, where relevant, build them into their wider services or retainers.

Expect honest experiences, practical ideas and plenty of inspiration you can take away and try in your own consultancy.

roundtable discussion

business development, pricing & positioning.

Get involved in a small-group roundtable with other HR consultants, where you’ll have the chance to introduce yourself, share ideas and learn from what others are doing.

Conversations could cover everything from business development tools, networking and referrals to how you price, package and position your services with clients.

Every table will have its own conversation, so expect a mix of ideas, experiences and practical tips you can take back to your own business. Definitely one to get involved in!

Roundtable discussion
Becky Bull
in memory of our first partner

the becky bull award.

Becky's integrity, warmth and determination live on in everything we value about our partner community.

This year, we're proud to celebrate The Becky Bull Award for the second time, and we're doing something new: alongside your nominations, we're inviting the whole partner community to vote for this year's winner.

The award recognises a partner who has spent the past 12 months truly living the values we knew Becky by: Ethical, Supportive, Collaborative, Determined and Personable.

Keep an eye on your emails for when nominations open. The winner will be announced at Partner Day on 4th February.
