SAP HR Connect 2026

Make Every Employee a Success Story.

April 13, 2026 | Aeschbachhalle Aarau

Your People Thrive on Connection. Your Business Does Too.

Join us for the 5th edition of SAP HR Connect (Central Swiss Edition) on April 13, 2026, in Aarau – and explore how strong connections between people, systems, and data empower HR to drive sustainable business success in a rapidly changing world of work.

Rapid disruption and nonstop acceleration have disconnected people, systems and processes. It is the quiet force that holds organizations back- from fragmented workflows to disengaged employees to data that doesn’t tell the full story. When organizations stay connected, engagement increases, performance strengthens, and progress accelerates. Because real success is no longer about how fast you move through change, but how well you stay connected as everything shifts around you.

Join us at HR Connect, where you’ll engage with a community of HR leaders, peers and experts explore how SAP SuccessFactors AI-enabled suite helps you build a workforce strategy that fuels connection.

At HR Connect, you’ll learn how SAP SuccessFactors connects your people, your business and your goals through:

  • Unified skills intelligence, recruiting, and talent development that that engages employees and fuels performance
  • Integrated AI and data that delivers contextual insights across your business
  • An open platform and expansive partner network designed for limitless connections and continuous innovation

We’ll show you how to keep your people, processes and progress moving forward together – so you can make every employee a success story. 

* Registration for customers and interested companies is free of charge, however, seat are limited. Early registration is recommended.
