About this Event
This November TALiNT Partners will bring together the best of the TA/HR community to share what we have learned from the complex and varied talent challenges of 2026 and look forward to what’s ahead in 2027.
Over two dynamic days senior leaders from across the talent ecosystem will explore all aspects of the future of talent: HR/TA, contingent workforce, sourcing, and consultants. Attendees will gain insights from keynote speakers, explore the latest trends and innovations, participate in expert-led discussions on key workforce challenges all while connecting with peers from across the talent ecosystem.
The event will include three tracks:
Day One: Joint session of all attendees: TA/HR/CW/Sourcing/Consultants
All attendees will come together for a unified program focused on the issues impacting talent today. We will explore workforce transformation, AI, leadership, the future of work and more!
