News: Workday Rising 2020 Cancelled

Workday Rising

Workday Rising is an annual event conducted by workday for an educational, networking, and inspirational experience.

It was communicated by Workday earlier that this year 2020 Workday Rising would be moving to a global digital experience in order to protect the safety and well-being of Workday Community in the tough times of COVID19.
