Hyatt Regency New OrleansQuestions people ask
5 answeredConnect HR Leadership Summit Fall 2026 took place October 5–7, 2026.
It was held at Hyatt Regency New Orleans in New Orleans, LA.
The event was aimed at senior HR leaders and CHROs.
It was most useful for senior HR leaders and CHROs who wanted to trade experience with peers, since the speakers were scheduled to be people officers and HR vice presidents from companies such as Camunda, Comcast and Garver, and the program was billed as including arranged one-on-one meetings. HR practitioners below the senior level, or vendors hoping for a broad buyer crowd, would have gotten less, because the audience was pitched at senior leaders and the sponsor list showed just QN Solutions.
HR executives at leadership summits usually wear business casual to business professional, such as slacks and a blazer. New Orleans in early October is warm and humid, so lighter fabrics suit the hotel venue.
