Senior HR leaders at companies with 200–5,000+ employees. CHROs, Chief People Officers, VPs of HR, Heads of People, and Directors with strategic scope. If you're making enterprise-level people decisions and managing (or influencing) HR tech budgets, you belong here.

Safe Space Summit is invitation-only, application-based, and capped at 200 people – every one of whom has been vetted. There's no expo hall, no sponsor floor, no panels designed for LinkedIn. It's a retreat built for candor, relationships, and the conversations that don't happen at typical events.

$0. Safe Space Summit is a hosted attendee event. Your travel (up to $550), hotel, and most meals are covered. The only requirement is completing 4-6 solution provider meetings over the course of the event. Please note that we do require a $1 fully-refundable deposit for approved guests. This will be refunded after the event concludes, providing that you fulfill all the hosted attendee requirements.
