Habanero returning to Future of Work Canada 2026

We can’t wait for this year’s Future of Work Canada conference in April, where we’ll be chairing speaker sessions and moderating panel discussions.

Future of Work Canada is a two-day event for HR, employee experience, talent and people leaders. Speakers include executives and experts from organizations such as Amazon, Apotex, ATB Financial, BC Hydro, BMO, Coca-Cola Canada Bottling Limited, DECIEM, Klick Health, LCBO, Meridian Credit Union, Queen’s University IRC, TMX Group, and Trillium Health Partners.

Speaker sessions

This year, the conference is grouped into three dedicated tracks:

• Change and transformation – Build a resilient organization by aligning people, technology and culture to thrive in times of disruption.
• People and experience – Create a workplace where belonging, purpose, and wellbeing drive performance by designing cultures and experiences that put people at the centre. This track will be chaired by Habanero Practice Lead, Culture and Transformation, Mallory O’Connor.
• Learning and leadership – Build future-ready skills and leaders in the age of AI, where people and smart technology work together to unlock potential and performance.

With access to every track, all attendees can design their own agenda and explore the sessions most relevant to their goals.

We’ll also be moderating the following discussions:

• Purpose-driven workplaces that align people, culture and performance – moderated by Habanero Practice Lead, Culture and Transformation, Mallory O’Connor
