Transform the work day for your organisation
Sana is coming to Barcelona – and bringing practical answers. Workday Rising EMEA isn’t our US event with a European address. It’s designed in EMEA, for EMEA. Join us to explore what AI can do for your organisation, get a first look at new innovations from Sana from Workday and step into a new work day together.
Take Sana for a spin
Sana anticipates, advises and acts to get work done, your way. Put it to the test yourself in person at Workday Rising EMEA.
Turn your AI vision into reality
This is where your agentic journey begins. Map your journey and connect your strategy to your day-to-day workflows.
Celebrate as one community
Meet peers who understand your challenges, exchange solutions and celebrate each other’s wins.
AI built for your work day, your way: Meet Sana from Workday.
AI that works for you, with your guidelines and boundaries, alongside your teams? That’s Sana – the agentic experience across all of Workday. Just say what you need and Sana will take care of it, your way, with your rules. This way, the work you’re getting done is right from start to finish.
Sana streamlines employee and candidate experiences. It gives your people answers and guidance right in their flow of work, transforming HR from a basic helpdesk into an engine for growth.
Sana turns fragmented work into strategic action. By unifying your data and processes, it automatically suggests next steps so finance can confidently manage spend, analyse risk, and make informed decisions.
Sana lets IT deploy agents across your entire enterprise while maintaining oversight. Permissions, workflows and governance are built in, so IT teams can focus on putting the right agents to work – in all the right places.
