MPL Live: Austin (2025)
It's good to be coming home ATX...
Austin - we’re back where it all started.
That’s right: MPL Live is returning to our hometown this December for an afternoon designed to spark ideas, build connections, and leave you buzzing with what’s next.
If you’ve been to MPL Live before, you know what we’re about:
✅ A live podcast conversation with bold HR voices
✅ Interactive networking (not the awkward kind)
✅ Giveaways that don’t suck (no boring swag here)
✅ A curated crowd of top-tier People leaders
This time, we’re adding something special for our hometown edition: a pre-event wellness moment to help you recharge before the action kicks off.
Come join the community that gets what it’s like to lead in today’s workplace. Expect real talk. No fluff. And maybe your next big idea or your next big opportunity.
THE TOPIC: The Emerging Era of Modern HR – Our Next Phase is Here
The ground is shifting under our feet:
HR isn’t just supporting the business anymore—it’s architecting it
The rise of AI and automation is changing what work looks like and who does it
Leadership teams expect People functions to design for agility, tech enablement, and resilience
In this session, we’ll explore how HR leaders are stepping into a new chapter:
✅ What does the “technical CHRO” look like—and why does it matter now?
✅ How do we stay human-centered while building for speed, flexibility, and scale?
✅ What’s next for the role of HR in the age of AI disruption?
This isn’t about theory—it’s about what’s working (and what’s not) in the real world.
