There’s no shortage of AI demos in HR right now.  The real question is: which ones will actually make it into the hands of millions of people? Every year, founders build tools that could genuinely change how we hire, support, pay, and develop people. But most never make it past the pilot stage. Not because the ideas aren’t strong — but because scaling them is hard.  In this session, ADP Ventures will share how we partner with high-potential startups to help their innovations move beyond the pitch deck and into real workplaces. We work side-by-side with founders to embed their technology into ADP’s platform — so breakthrough ideas don’t stay experiments, they become part of everyday work life. You’ll hear what separates tools that stay “interesting” from those that truly spread. What founders have to learn to operate at scale. What enterprises have to rethink to move faster. And what happens when startup speed meets real distribution. Because innovation isn’t exciting when it’s a demo.  It’s exciting when it changes how people experience work.
