People Analytics in 2026 is entering a new chapter.
What began as workforce reporting limited to People Data has steadily evolved into something more ambitious — more connected to decision-making, more predictive in nature, and increasingly shaped by advances in AI, machine learning, and platform innovation. For SAP SuccessFactors customers in particular, the conversation is no longer just about better dashboards, but about what it really means to operate with People Intelligence in SAP Business Data Cloud at the core of HR and business decisions.
The Festival of People Analytics 2026 on Tuesday, Feb 24th 2026 is a chance to pause, take stock, and look ahead.
It brings together People Analytics leaders, HR and HRIT teams, SAP experts, and practitioners to explore how the discipline has changed, what’s now possible, and how organisations can prepare for what’s coming next — with clarity, confidence, and practical direction.

Across the day, FOPA will cover the full arc of People Analytics - past, present, and future.
The opening keynote will examine how People Analytics has evolved for SAP SuccessFactors customers, drawing on over a decade of experience and benchmarking data. It will show how expectations have changed and why 2026 represents an important inflection point for the function.
SAP experts will demonstrate People Intelligence in practice, showing what is now possible, what has changed recently, and what is required to move from interest to implementation.
Later sessions focus on the practical shift from traditional workforce analytics to People Intelligence. These sessions explain the differences in plain language and explore how People Intelligence supports more advanced analytics, automation, and AI-driven use cases, while remaining grounded in real-world organisational constraints.
The agenda also includes live Q&A sessions with SAP and ecosystem experts, giving attendees the opportunity to ask direct questions about People Intelligence — including capabilities, roadmap, adoption considerations, and how it fits into the broader SuccessFactors analytics landscape. The day concludes with a discussion on predictive analytics and machine learning, focused on concrete HR use cases rather than theory.
Rather than focusing on tools alone, the Festival of People Analytics 2026 is about capability, readiness, and impact.
Across the day, you’ll gain:
A clear view of how People Analytics is evolving in the SAP ecosystem
A practical understanding of People Intelligence and how it differs from traditional analytics including SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics (WFA)
