Riyadh is preparing to host the eighth edition of the Saudi HR Technology Summit at the Voco Riyadh hotel on November 4 and 5, 2024, under the theme "Explainable AI (XAI): The Evolution of Talent and Technology." The summit brings together a group of specialists to examine the Kingdom's accelerating digital shifts, driven by Vision 2030's push for digital transformation and the employment of Saudi youth as a core pillar of the workforce.

Sponsored by flynas as platinum sponsor, the summit will address several themes around adopting AI and managing risk, and the challenges facing HR departments such as talent management, skills development, and skills-based rehiring. The summit's HR Tech Awards, hosted for the first time this year, celebrate the sector's achievements in the Kingdom, with categories including employee engagement, talent development and technology innovation.

Fares Al-Badr, Chief Revenue Officer at flynas, said the airline was proud to take part in the summit to support HR technology and help enhance employee experience and corporate efficiency. The summit will also feature sessions led by international experts, including keynote speaker Dan Pontefract, covering best practices in leadership and change management.
