The Global Series runs two HSE Learning Summits in Europe each year — one in H1 (spring) and one in H2 (autumn). This gives European EHS and operations leaders two annual opportunities to access The Global Series experience, deepen relationships from previous events, and engage with evolving themes and speakers as the profession’s priorities shift. Both events follow the same format: two days, one curated stream, Chatham House Rules, and Pulse AI-facilitated networking.

Events like EHS Congress and Safety & Health Expo serve the broad spectrum of European safety professionals across large exhibition floors and multi-track programmes. The Global Series is built for a different purpose: senior EHS and operations leaders who want to engage with the strategic, cultural and leadership dimensions of the role in a focused, high-trust setting. Our speaker lineup spans behavioural science and business strategy alongside safety practitioners, our sessions run under Chatham House Rules, and our Pulse AI networking tool ensures every interaction is purposeful rather than accidental.

Our European forums draw senior professionals from across the continent — including the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Spain, Italy, Poland and beyond. The cross-border format is intentional: leadership and culture challenges in EHS transcend national regulatory differences, and some of the most valuable learning comes from peers working in different jurisdictions and operating contexts. European delegates consistently highlight the international perspective as one of the defining features of The Global Series experience.

Pulse AI is The Global Series’ proprietary AI-curated networking tool. Before and during each event, Pulse AI analyses attendees’ shared priorities, challenges and areas of interest to facilitate high-value, strategic peer connections — replacing the randomness of traditional conference networking with intentional, relevant introductions. At dedicated Pulse Connect & Exchange sessions built into the programme, delegates engage in AI-curated dialogue focused on the strategic issues most relevant to them. It is one of the defining features of The Global Series experience and a key reason delegates describe our events as the most valuable networking they do in any given year.

Our European forums bring together senior professionals from manufacturing, energy and utilities, construction, logistics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and process industries, financial services and professional services. The cross-sector format is deliberate: the leadership and culture challenges that define great EHS practice cut across industry lines, and the most powerful learning consistently comes from peers working in different contexts. The COO Leaders’ Summit — also run by The Global Series in Europe — adds a further layer of operations leadership perspective that makes the cross-functional conversation particularly rich.
