e2 hr/ir conference
Our First Edition
The E2 HR / IR Conference 2026 is designed for employers, HR leaders, and decision-makers navigating an increasingly complex industrial relations landscape.
Across three intensive days, this conference brings together experienced practitioners from HR, law, industrial relations, and leadership to unpack real cases, emerging risks, and evolving regulatory expectations shaping the modern workplace. From performance management failures and senior exits to union recognition, surveillance, crisis response, and post-termination risks, every session is built around practical insight, not theory.
This inaugural conference goes beyond compliance checklists. It focuses on judgement, defensibility, and strategic foresight so organisations can act confidently in high-stakes workforce decisions.
Hosted by E2 Workforce Consulting and AuntyHR, the conference creates a space for open, candid conversations grounded in real-world experience, legal reality, and operational practicality.
