Whether you lead people, technology or finance, find the strategies to make AI a strategic advantage, not a side project.
Finance teams aren’t just focused on the numbers anymore – they’re embracing AI to continuously monitor, reconcile and explain performance, giving them the space to focus on decisions instead.
Here, you’ll see how our AI, Sana, is transforming finance by autonomously managing close activities and providing prescriptive insights for optimal results. And with every AI action remaining permission-aware and auditable, you’ll never have to trade control for speed.
While many organisations already have AI tools, the challenge is orchestrating them across systems with consistent security, context and governance.
Join us to learn how we’re delivering all that and more by providing the enterprise rails for AI: the deterministic backbone of data, processes, security and compliance that every agent runs on. You’ll also hear how our superintelligent layer connects Workday with hundreds of enterprise applications – so you can build the new work day.
In the new work day, every employee will partner with AI teammates that are grounded in the full context of your business. The question is: How do you navigate this fundamental shift in the way you work?
At Workday Elevate, discover how to leverage AI and optimise HR by freeing your team from repetitive tickets. Not only that, you’ll hear how to transform hiring and mobility through automation, while keeping humans in control of sensitive decision-making.
Is your organisation ready to take on the new work day? With our trusted platform for AI agents, you can simplify your midsize organisation’s back office – fast.
Join us to hear about Workday GO and how we deliver on cost, quality and scale without compromise, so your business can meet your ambitions tomorrow.

Award-winning comedian, writer, television host and one of the biggest names in comedy
Jimmy Carr is one of the world’s best‑known stand‑up comedians, filling arenas across more than 50 countries with his razor‑sharp wit and lightning‑fast one‑liners. A household name from shows like 8 Out of 10 Cats and hit specials on Netflix and Prime Video, he’s also a master of reading a room and connecting with any audience.
At Workday Elevate London, Jimmy will close the day with his trademark blend of intelligence, irreverence and insight – taking a sideways look at work, technology and the quirks of human behaviour. Expect an energising finale that’s as thought‑provoking as it is laugh‑out‑loud funny when we look at ‘The Business of Happiness’.
