As the world braces for a transformative shift in the labor market over the next five years, the conference will shine a spotlight on the critical skills gaps that persist across the globe. By emphasizing themes such as education, technology, and the future of work, HCI aims to reimagine the ways we live, work, and thrive, paving the way for a more resilient and inclusive workforce.

HCI speaker, Dr. Paul Gruenwald, Global Chief Economist, S&P Global Ratings, said: "I look forward to discussing the critical issue of skills gaps at the second annual HCI conference in Riyadh. In a world driven by changing technologies, demographics and geopolitics, lifetime learning and adaptation will be essential to ensure sustainable and inclusive economic growth."

Dr. Bedour Alrayes, Vice President of the Human Capability Development Program (HCDP), said: "We are thrilled to welcome such distinguished speakers to the second edition of HCI. This year's theme focuses on preparing for a future that demands significant global upskilling. The world will change substantially due to the rapid advancement of technology. The speakers we have assembled are leading experts who will guide us in addressing the urgent needs of human capability development."

The HCI program was officially announced earlier this week on its website, and registration remains open. Additional high-profile speakers are set to be revealed as the event approaches.

In collaboration with the conference, the Saudi Ministry of Education will hold the Education Global Exhibition (EDGEx) over 13 – 16 April, 2025, forming the Human Capabilities & Learning Week, a unique platform to unlock the full potential of human capability.
