Why should I attend?

Whether you lead people, technology or finance, find the strategies to make AI a strategic advantage, not a side project.

Move finance from reporting the past to shaping the future

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.

Build the rails for superintelligence

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.

Reimagine talent with AI as your teammate

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.

New to Workday? You’re in the right place.

Workday Elevate is where we showcase the real-world impact our AI can have for your organisation right here, right now.

If you’re new to us, this is your chance to experience a new way to work with Sana – superintelligence that automates work across HR, finance, IT and beyond – through the power of AI.

You’ll learn how we can help you overcome some of your biggest challenges, bringing workflows together on one platform so you can orchestrate end-to-end work.

Throughout the day, you’ll hear success stories from existing customers and get to join our exclusive strategy sessions. And when it’s all over, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap for delivering instant, AI-driven impact to your organisation.

It’s time for a new work day. Are you ready?
