People Analytics Technology Market Trends 2026: What Shifted, What's Next

Wednesday, July 29 @ 11:30am PT / 2:30pm ET

The people analytics technology (PAT) market has changed significantly over the last 2 years. Contracts look different. The competitive landscape has shifted. AI is everywhere, but most of it isn't doing what the marketing suggests. And vendors are pulling back from supporting customers in areas that previously received significant support.

Join RedThread Research's Stacia Garr and Priyanka Mehrotra for a deep dive into our 2026 People Analytics Technology study, the most comprehensive annual look at the PAT vendor landscape. We'll share what we found across 47 vendor solutions, and what it means for your buying and strategy decisions.

In this session, you'll learn:

  • Where the PAT market is heading, and why moderate growth is the new normal

  • How vendor contracts have fundamentally changed

  • The real state of AI in PAT

  • Why vendors' ethics practices are stronger than ever internally, and weaker than ever for customers

Whether you're evaluating a new platform, renegotiating a contract, or advising your organization on where to invest, this session will give you the data and framework to make better decisions.
