About Pop Summit London

When Communications, HR, and IT operate in separate lanes, they unwittingly create a fragmented employee experience—at a time of historic disconnect. It creates lack of clarity, unnecessary hurdles, and stifles performance.

As we enter an AI-driven, next-gen workplace, this is the cost of misalignment: 

  • Fragmentation burdens people. Functions move fast but not together, leaving employees to absorb the cost of conflicting signals and disconnected systems.
  • AI raises the bar for cohesion. The technology increasingly shaping our workplaces doesn't fix existing misalignment. The reality is it amplifies and compounds underlying problems at scale.
  • Disconnect erodes trust. Fragmented expectations drive frustration, lower engagement, and limit the value of new technologies.

But this moment also presents a real opportunity to work differently and cohesively, to start building the experience people expect and the performance they need.

Join us at Pop Summit London to explore The New Convergence: How Communications, HR, and IT can shape a next-gen workplace ready for what's ahead.

Welcome to Pop Summit London: Caroline Daly, General Manager Employee Experience, Poppulo. Opening remarks and setting the context for the day.
9:50 am
Keynote: Dr Jo Salter MBE knows what clear communication means when the stakes are high and the pace is unforgiving. As Britain’s first female fast-jet pilot, she operated in environments where shared intent, precision, and trust were the difference between life and death. She has since spent decades working across business and technology, including leading global AI and digital transformation work at PwC, supporting senior leaders as they navigate complexity, pressure, and large-scale change. In this keynote, Jo will explore what happens when organizations accelerate but fail to stay aligned. Drawing on experience from high-stakes military operations and enterprise transformation, she will examine why communication, trust, and coordination matter even more as AI begins to reshape the workplace.
