PARIS, 6 October 2026 — Phenom, the leader in applied AI built to redesign work operations for hiring faster, developing better and retaining longer, today announced the newest wave of speakers for IAMPHENOM Europe 2026, the only applied AI event dedicated to human resources taking place on 4-5 November in Paris, France.
The two-day conference gives attendees what other HR events can’t: an inside look at AI agents already in production, automated workflows tailored to specific business contexts and the dramatic results they are already delivering.
Across keynotes, customer sessions, hands-on experiences and peer networking with the continent’s top CHROs and HRIT decision-makers, guests can participate in discussions shaping boardroom agendas, from AI governance, ethics and regulatory readiness to skills intelligence, workforce planning and the evolving role of HR teams. They can also test-drive a range of agents against their own industry, geographies, roles and workforce challenges.
Newly confirmed presenters include:
Jean-Manuel Soussan, Vice-President, Group Human Resources Director at Bouygues Group
Max Schultheiß, HR System Owner – Recruiting at EnBW
David Perring, Chief Insights Officer at Fosway Group
