RE:ENGAGE 2025: A Conference on the Future of 1-on-1 Meetings

Introduction

The landscape of workplace communication has dramatically evolved, and at the forefront of this transformation is the innovative approach to 1-on-1 meetings introduced by Kakeai. On November 4 to 6, 2025, professionals across different sectors will have the chance to participate in a groundbreaking conference called RE:ENGAGE 2025, which aims to explore the latest theories and practical applications surrounding 1-on-1 meetings and how they can reshape organizational outcomes.

Background

Today, organizations face a pressing need to rebuild relationships through dialogue between individuals. This requires management strategies that can effectively adapt to changes. Traditional systems alone are insufficient; instead, new approaches aimed at altering behaviors in the workplace and linking them to organizational success are essential. 1-on-1 meetings emerge as a crucial method for addressing HR challenges such as improving employee engagement, preventing turnover, and accelerating development. Despite their significance, many organizations struggle with issues like superficial implementation and increased burdens on staff.

The RE:ENGAGE 2025 conference will gather executives, HR leaders, and frontline managers to share actionable insights that can help overcome these barriers. Attendees will discover how to reconceptualize 1-on-1 meetings as a foundational element of management, utilizing the latest case studies to enhance both organizational effectiveness and interpersonal relations.
