## Description

Payments did it. Commerce did it. Now HR is next. If you've ever felt like your HR software makes you fit its template rather than the other way around, this one's for you. 

Every mature technology category eventually separates its infrastructure from its interface and HR is reaching that inflection point. The ATS, the HRIS, the LMS, the payroll system: each a silo, each about to be disrupted by something more composable.

In this session we'll explore what headless HR looks like in practice, why the assumptions HR software was built around no longer hold, and what becomes possible when AI sits directly on top of employment infrastructure.
