Navigating the Change Together:  #AmChamHRMConference - The Place to Be!

HRM`26

The 10th edition of the AmCham HR Management Conference will meet you at 8:30 AM with a welcome coffee at the Radisson Blu Leogrand Hotel.

The jubilee edition of the Human Resources Management Conference, organized by the American Chamber of Commerce in Moldova, will bring together HR professionals and business leaders under the theme Human Advantage: People | AI | Performance. Taking place on November 26, 2026, from 08:30 to 17:00 at Radisson Blu Leogrand Hotel, Chișinău, this special edition will explore the role of people in shaping organizational success as technology transforms the way we work. This year, we are taking the conversation beyond traditional HR topics to address some of the biggest questions facing organizations. How can businesses grow without increasing headcount? Where will Moldova find its future workforce? How is AI reshaping jobs, leadership, and workplace practices? And what does it take to build high-performing organizations? Through shared experiences and practical insights, the conference will offer perspectives to help participants navigate these challenges. Since its launch in 2017, the HRM Conference has brought professionals together to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and build organizations that put people at the center. Join us as we celebrate this jubilee edition with inspiring speakers, engaging discussions, and opportunities to connect with Moldova’s HR and business community.
