leading the changing world of events

The Leaders Summit for HR & People is a global series, organised by Double Centurion Events, beginning at Lord's Cricket Ground in May 2026. A capacity of 25 Sponsors & Partners in HR, L&D and Talent technologies, and a capacity Delegation set at 200 Senior Practitioners and C-suites of the discipline.

The purpose of these events is to:

1) Elevate & Empower the role of HR & Talent in the ExCo Group at a critical and fragile time.

2) Through Unforgettable Experiences, to deliver permanent, authoritative connections with business outcomes and prolonged data intelligence.

3) To overcome the sterility, waste and inflexibility currently defining the exhibitions landscape.

We do this in every detail of our organisation:

Content: our plenaries, panels and roundtables are driven by our progressive community, never dictated by an event-organiser. We are partnered and grow alongside the most influential HR authors, podcasters and speakers in our markets.

Sponsorship: our packages prioritise case studies revealing the secrets of the most successful partnerships in transforming the HR function, with a turnkey exhibit solution and intelligence beyond basic data scans. For real business and deep and lasting relationships, no 2-day event should have more than 25 exhibitors.

Transparency: our model for growth is repeat and geo-clone, not maximising sqm yield for only the organiser's benefit. Our delegation is capped at 200 so that everyone is a fully qualified decision-maker who can transform their ExCo Group as a consequence of the event, thereby delivering on our sponsor-customers' objectives.

Experience: amidst the light, every DCE (and LSHR) event is characterised by the heat of subject-matter, emotion and fun. We hold our events in illustrious, innovative venues (finally bringing you iconic sports, arts and architectural wonders), cater luxuriously for our whole community without exception, and impart the best industry white-paper content and memorabilia in swanky holdalls (not leaflets and sweeties in granny's tote bag).

This summit is uniquely organised by someone who has engaged with the discipline from multiple perspectives:

  1. Exhibition Director (of both the largest and smallest scale of events in this space)
  2. Exhibitor (A customer who has thought and felt it all)
  3. Delegate (A potential, lost customer of the Exhibitor)

Supported, rather led, by an unmatched Advisory Board, this diverse lived experience contributes to a full-circle understanding of the complexities involved, ensuring as an industry first: a truly credible programme and design, tailored for HR leadership.
