The Human Side of Digital Transformation: Global Experts to Lead Key Debates at 2nd MMG HR Summit Mediterranean 2026

Press Release

27 February Limassol, Cyprus

This panel discussion will be about the place of human beings in the digital transformation era. During these debates, panelists will explore how companies can balance automation with empathy, data with dialogue, and speed with sustainability. MMG HR Summit Mediterranean 2026 will take place on 11–12 March at the Opus Events Venue in Limassol and bring together leading HR leaders, founders, and business decision-makers from across the Mediterranean region to explore the future of work.

As organizations accelerate digital transformation, technology alone is no longer the differentiator - it is accessible to every business. The real challenge is to align systems, leadership, and culture - ensuring that digital progress helps to build trust, engagement, and human connection rather than eroding them. The main topic of the debates will be “The Human Side of Digital Transformation”, and the moderator will be Carol Constant, an expert in learning, development, and human resources, and the Founder of WhomLab. The debate’s participants will be featuring internationally recognized experts:

• Ben Whitter – globally acknowledged thought leader in employee experience and human-centric business transformation.
• Andri Kyprianou – HR leader shaping people strategy within international corporate environments.
• Elena Logutova – expert in organizational transformation and cross-cultural leadership.
• Elizaveta Lagireva – specialist in digital HR solutions and workforce innovation.

The conversation will focus on practical leadership decisions: redesigning the employee experience in digital environments, AI tools, preparing managers for hybrid realities, and maintaining a strong corporate culture while scaling technology-driven change. The debates directly reflect the Summit’s mission to create a space for dialogue about the future of work centered on People, Culture, and Global Connection.

Nadezhda Gorislavtseva, Co-Founder of Memory Makers Group and Organizer of MMG HR Summit Mediterranean, highlighted the importance of such discussions:

“Digital transformation is often discussed in terms of AI tools, systems, and efficiency. But behind every transformation are people - leaders navigating uncertainty, teams adapting to change, and cultures being reshaped in real time. Discussing such topics with HR leaders is essential because it allows us to speak honestly about the human impact of technology. In this way, all together we create a professional space where strategic conversations translate into responsible leadership decisions.”

MMG HR Summit Mediterranean 2026 will once again unite more than 300 senior HR leaders, founders, and CEOs to exchange European-level expertise, strengthen cross-cultural collaboration, and advance inclusive leadership practices across the region.
