Workday Rising 2024 in Las Vegas was a spectacular gathering of the brightest minds and leading innovators in the Workday ecosystem. As a silver sponsor, The Planet Group, Planet Technology’s parent company, was thrilled to engage with industry leaders, share our expertise, and explore the future of Workday solutions. Here’s a look back at the event’s highlights and the key takeaways that are shaping the future of enterprise technology.
At Workday Rising 2024, CEO Carl Eschenbach kicked things off with a keynote that really highlighted just how big and important this event has become. With over 18,000 people attending in person and another 30,000 joining online from 42 countries, it was a massive gathering of a community that helps drive businesses forward globally. The attendees alone represent companies that employ nearly 50 million people, which shows the scale of influence at play. Plus, the event saw 10,500 customers and 2,000 partners come together, with over 200 companies showcased in the expo center.
This year’s theme, “Forever Forward,” was all about embracing the constant evolution and disruption we’re seeing in the business world. Eschenbach made it clear that if we’re not moving forward, we’re falling behind. He described this moment as the “Age of AI,” a time he believes marks the biggest shift our industry has ever seen. The idea is that we’re moving from a world where people work with technology to one where technology works for people, changing everything from hiring and onboarding to financial systems.
Eschenbach also introduced Workday’s latest AI developments, Workday Illuminate, aimed at lighting up the future of work. The focus is on three key areas: Accelerate, Assist, and Transform. “Accelerate” is about speeding up routine tasks with automation, “Assist” provides a co-pilot to help tackle more complex tasks, and “Transform” is all about rethinking how businesses operate, with AI leading the way.
At Workday Rising 2024, The Planet Group had a blast showcasing how we’re all about “Driving Value from Day One.” As a silver sponsor at booth D44, we brought our A-game with a focus on helping companies drive Workday like a well-oiled machine, and we made it clear that having the right talent behind the wheel is key. That’s where we come in, with our global network of Workday-certified consultants ready to jump in and deliver results right away.
We talked a lot about how we’re using Workday’s AI features, like smart automation, predictive analytics, and advanced reporting, to help businesses get the most out of their systems. We covered everything from Accounting Center to Prism, Adaptive, Grants, Extend, FDM, Record to Report, Help and Journeys, Talent, and Peakon. As Workday’s first Global Staffing and AMS Partner in North America and Europe, we’re known for quickly filling roles and streamlining processes to boost efficiency and drive innovation.
What really sets us apart is how closely we align with Workday’s core values—innovation, integrity, culture, sustainability, and diversity. We brought those values to life at the conference. And just to keep things fun, we hosted a Cybertruck ride giveaway at our booth and threw a private party at the Eyecandy Lounge in Mandalay Bay, making sure everyone who stopped by had a great time.
After an amazing time at Workday Rising 2024, we’re more excited than ever to help businesses drive value from their Workday investments. We’re already looking forward to next year’s event in San Francisco! Our global network of Workday-certified consultants is ready to help organizations leverage the latest AI-driven features and innovations.
