A day at the summit

Redefining HR in the age of AI

Vietnam HR Summit 2025 was built around four pillars: AI, People, Leadership and Culture.

Held on September 11, 2025 at The ADORA Center and organized by VNHR, the summit ran as a bilingual English–Vietnamese program with in-depth sessions, practical stories from pioneering companies and themed roundtables. The thread running through the day was the role of HR as a strategic partner to the business.

On stage, a Cadena representative shared perspectives on the top priorities for HR leaders in 2025, based on Gartner research covering more than 1,400 HR leaders across 60+ countries. The five priorities: leader and manager development, organizational culture, strategic workforce planning, change management and HR technology.

The Cadena booth

One platform for the whole employee lifecycle, from core HR data to automated payroll.

At the HR Festival & Expo, the Cadena booth showcased HRM Series 5, an end-to-end human capital management solution for enterprises in Asia, built on more than 22 years of experience.

The Cadena team spent the day talking directly with HR professionals and business leaders who stopped by, from live system demos on screen to questions about how things actually run day to day.

What stayed with us

Ten years on, the question for HR professionals is no longer whether to use technology, but how to use it so that people, leadership and culture stay at the center.

That is also how Cadena thinks about technology: its real value lies in freeing HR professionals from repetitive tasks, so they have more time for what matters most.
