Questions people ask

What are the main HR conferences in 2026?

The list on this page shows the real upcoming HR, people and talent events we have found, soonest first. Each links to its official page so you can confirm dates, agenda and tickets.

How do I find good networking events?

Start with your goal: hiring, clients, investors, or peers. Pick events built around that topic, check who the organiser is, and look at the format. Smaller breakfasts, roundtables and workshops usually lead to better conversations than large receptions. On Prosotto you can also see which members are going and message them before you arrive.

Are careers fairs worth attending?

Yes, especially when you research the exhibitors beforehand and arrive with a few people you want to speak to. Check the official event page for who is taking part.
