Welcome to the 55th International People Conference, the largest People & Business event in Portugal and one of the most influential globally. This year, under the theme “Be People, Be Different, Be You,” we delve into three essential dimensions that make people the strategic cornerstone of organizations. The conference offers a unique opportunity to explore how managers can identify and develop talent within their teams, the importance of promoting and valuing diversity of talents and perspectives within organizations, and celebrating what makes us unique, both personally and professionally. In 2024, the conference will present an innovative and multifaceted approach, offering an immersive and practical experience for all participants, promising to be a landmark event in the discussion about the future of work and people management.
