The UNLEASH Expeditions program offers participants a rare opportunity to engage directly with top executives from these industry giants, gaining insights into the latest trends, strategies, and innovations shaping the future of work. Now in its second edition, UNLEASH Expeditions has expanded from two companies to five, reflecting the growing demand for elite, first-hand learning experiences within the HR community. 

Each Expedition involves exclusive tours of the companies’ campuses, followed by immersive, two-hour boardroom-style sessions with senior executives. These sessions will explore topics ranging from technology integration to leadership strategies, talent development, and future workforce challenges. The program enables participants to learn directly from those at the forefront of their fields, offering invaluable insights into how these leading companies navigate complex HR landscapes. 

“Paris is home to the highest concentration of Global Fortune Companies in Europe, so it’s the perfect setting for these Expeditions. The city’s rich business landscape provides an ideal backdrop for global HR leaders to dive deep into transformative experiences,” said Marc Coleman, CEO and Founder of UNLEASH. “As UNLEASH continues to grow and connect HR professionals with cutting-edge insights, these Expeditions provide a vital platform for senior executives to engage with new ideas, expand their strategies, and elevate their organizations. Everyone who took part last year knows there is nothing quite like it.” 

UNLEASH Expeditions has been designed with a focus on fostering meaningful dialogue and learning experiences.

From Orange’s efforts to unlock human potential through inclusive talent development to L’Oréal’s approach to driving social innovation, participants will be guided by UNLEASH Explorers—handpicked industry experts who will ensure a deep understanding of the strategies and cultures that underpin the success of these organizations. 

Additionally, the program covers a diverse array of industries, offering attendees the opportunity to choose an Expedition that aligns most closely with their interests and professional objectives. From L’Oréal’s century-long legacy of beauty and social impact to Equans’ role as a global leader in energy and services, each Expedition presents a unique learning experience.
