Unleash World 2026

Jess Von Bank · speaker

UNLEASH World brings a lot of big ideas about where work, HR, technology, and the workforce are headed next into one place in Paris. It's the kind of room where the future of work gets debated before much of it becomes the present.

Jess is joining Dr. Jana Werner of Amazon Web Services and Phil LeBrun of AWS for a fireside session, The Learning ROI Reckoning, focused on a question learning leaders can no longer avoid: how do you prove business impact before the function risks becoming irrelevant?

Jess knows the UNLEASH stage well, and this one gets into a question that matters far beyond learning itself: if a function cannot connect its work to business impact, what happens to its relevance? If you're in Paris, this is the conversation to catch.
