About the series

The best conversations don’t end when the applause does. Behind the Keynote is Transform’s new editorial series featuring exclusive interviews and articles with our mainstage speakers. Recorded moments after they left the stage, each episode explores the ideas, stories, and leadership lessons shaping AI, HR, and the future of work. Through in-depth storytelling and video, we revisit these powerful conversations, offering fresh context and deeper insights into the ideas that sparked action.
