About the Event

The annual East Africa HR Symposium is a premier gathering of HR professionals and business leaders from across the region. Organized by Rise & Learn Global the event provides a platform to discuss critical HR issues, share best practices, and foster valuable networking opportunities.

Following the successful 5th East Africa HR Symposium held in Kampala, Uganda in 2023, we are returning to where it all began in 2018 for the inaugural conference. The 2024 symposium in Mombasa, Kenya promises to be a pivotal event for HR professionals, business leaders, and industry experts across the region.

The theme "HR Reimagined" tackles the critical question of building a workforce that can thrive in the face of constant change. Traditional HR practices may no longer suffice in an environment shaped by automation, evolving work models, and a growing emphasis on human-centricity.

The symposium proposes a powerful synergy: leveraging technology's potential while keeping the human element at the forefront. This means utilizing AI and data analytics to streamline processes and gain valuable insights, all while fostering a culture of learning, development, and well-being for employees. By embracing these strategies, HR professionals can empower their organizations to build a future-proof workforce that is adaptable, engaged, and ready to tackle whatever challenges the future holds.
