Workday Rising 2024, an annual corporate event produced by human capital management software company Workday with $7.3 billion in revenues in fiscal 2024, will culminate in the annual Customer Appreciation Party at Allegiant Stadium, featuring a live performance by rock star Gwen Stefani. 

“We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate our rock star customers than with a REAL rock star performance,” said Workday's Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) Emma Chalwin in a blog.

Scheduled for Sept. 16–19 at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, this year’s conference is set to bring together more than 30,000 C-suite executives, thought leaders, and finance and IT professionals for four days of inspiration, learning, and networking.

The conference will feature a conversation with former First Lady Michelle Obama, focusing on empowerment, leadership, and resilience in an AI-driven world. “I am especially honored to host this discussion,” Chalwin said. “It's a timely conversation that will inspire us all as we navigate the future of work.”

Attendees can look forward to insights from top executives of major brands such as McLaren Racing and RaceTrac, alongside Workday’s own CEO Carl Eschenbach and Executive Chair Aneel Bhusri. These speakers will discuss how they’re leveraging AI to supercharge their operations and drive business success.

“Workday Rising is more than an event—it's an opportunity for our community to come together and discuss the future of work,” Chalwin said. “We'll tackle challenges, explore the latest AI innovations, and share inspiring stories of how leading brands are moving forever forward.”

In addition to thought-provoking sessions and keynotes, participants will get an exclusive preview of the latest Workday product innovations in finance and HR. With more than 400 sessions and more than 500 speakers, the conference is designed to provide actionable insights and strategies to help businesses future-proof their operations. Additionally, more than 150 exhibitors are expected at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.

Attendees may join online with two digital experience pass options. Select keynotes and sessions will be livestreamed and available on demand.
