Pay transparency legislation, evolving employment law, and shifting workforce expectations are placing growing pressure on those responsible for people strategy across Irish organisations. For many HR professionals and business owners, the challenge is not identifying that these issues matter, it is finding the time, the technical knowledge, and the peer context to address them with confidence.

Following a strong turnout at the NFP HR Conference at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, the firm is taking the conversation beyond the capital. Three free, half-day forums are scheduled across autumn 2026, each designed to deliver practical insight and direct access to specialist guidance in a regional setting.

Choose the location that suits you

● Kerry HR Forum — Wednesday 30 September, Ballygarry Estate Hotel and Spa, Tralee

● Cork HR Forum — Thursday 15 October, Radisson Blu Hotel and Spa, Little Island

● Galway HR Forum — Tuesday 3 November, The Harbour Hotel, Galway

Each forum combines specialist guidance on the legislative and workforce issues shaping 2027 planning with dedicated "Ask the Specialist" sessions, giving attendees direct access to NFP's advisory team. Time for peer networking is built into every event, recognising that some of the most valuable insight comes from the room itself.

Practical guidance from a trusted partner

NFP operates as an organisation of consultative advisors and problem solvers, helping companies address their most significant risk, workforce, financial planning and retirement challenges. That consultative approach carries through to the forum format, these are working sessions built around the real questions HR professionals are bringing into the final quarter of 2026, not set-piece presentations.

For those responsible for reward, retention, and benefits strategy, the forums offer a structured opportunity to stress-test current thinking and return to the business with practical actions for the year ahead.

Spaces are limited and early registration is encouraged. Save your place at the NFP Ireland HR Forum series at nfpireland.ie/insights/events.
