HR AFTER HOURS: SUMMER SOCIAL | BRISTOL

Being in HR in 2026 is a wild ride. Between dodging AI “hallucinations,” solving the hybrid-work puzzle and being the unofficial office therapist, you’ve earned a drink. Or two.

It’s time to close the tabs, mute the “urgent” Slack pings, and join Employment Hero, Michelle Hartley and the HR Geek Squad for a summer social that’s actually… well, social! We’re heading to The Cocktail Club at Corn Street in Bristol to swap policy talk for party vibes and spreadsheets for sunsets.

What’s the vibe?

• The Ultimate Crew: Hang out with the HR Geek Squad community; people who know exactly why your eye twitches when someone says “quick question.”
• Brain Picking (the fun kind): Casual chats about the future of work without a PowerPoint in sight.
• Fuel: Delicious food and cold drinks are on the house.

We’ll help you restore your sanity, meet other local legends and revive before the summer has even become.

Your out-of-office is already written. All that’s left is the RSVP.
