about
Maven Insights launched the first annual People Analytics forum in 2017, the first of its kind in the GCC region. The PA forums aim is to establish a community of senior HR and People Analytics leaders who want to move beyond static measures in evaluating their business contributions.
Each year’s event is centred around the most pressing current HR issues. World renowned experts share their insights and discuss ways to harness the full potential of data to empower data-driven HR functions.
The Forum is ideal for those working in People Analytics, HR Analytics, Workforce Analytics, Talent Management, and Talent Retention. The annual event provides an invaluable networking opportunity where attendees can gather insights and share ideas.

Millions of employees have quit their jobs during the pandemic.
To address the problem, first, we need to understand why people are leaving in the first place.
During the 5th PAForum, our renowned speakers will answer two relevant questions: Why are people leaving? And how can you keep your top talent in the fold by using people analytics?
Witness how People Analytics is disrupting the way HR operates and don't miss this year's free virtual event!
