The 2026 Tharseo Summit will bring together more than 300 leaders from business, government, education, healthcare, philanthropy, and the nonprofit sector around one defining question:

How can workers, workplaces, and communities thrive together?

As our nation marks its 250th year and SHRM Foundation celebrates its 60th anniversary, we have a unique opportunity to consider not simply how work is changing, but what we want the future of work to become.

Across a day of provocative conversations, practical insights, and cross-sector exchange, we’ll explore what it means for people and organizations to thrive in an AI-enabled future; the skills, learning, and new models needed for longer and more adaptive working lives; and how cultures of care, connection, and belonging can strengthen both people and performance.

Sessions include, among others:

• Humans at Work: Mental Health, Flourishing, and Human Performance
• Reimagining Careers for the 100-Year Life
• Human-Centered, AI-Enabled: Maximizing Human Potential Through Technology
• Cultures of Care: The Expanding Employer Role in Human Thriving
