3Sixty Insights’ Lance Haun has walked the HR Tech expo floor since 2009, and this year he wrote that it was more overwhelming than ever because every vendor was saying the same thing about AI. His test is simple: put your thumb over the logo and see if you can still tell who’s who. They talked about who the booths are really talking to, why so many companies are adding AI to platforms they’re getting a fraction of the value from today, and the best argument we heard all week for why the work itself matters, courtesy of Lance’s mom.
Recorded live at HR Tech 2026 in Las Vegas. This is one of four conversations from the show!
