inspiring speakers, new products, and key breakthoughts are out there. Get out your passports and your credit cards, because for this post we're going across the pond to detail some of the most important international HR and recruiting events.
Talent & Recruitment Leaders Connect
TheJobPost brings you an extensive series of HR events across the UK. Ranging from The Candidate Experience all the way to Financial & Professional Services, Talent Leaders Connect has featured top VPs and Recruiters from Oracle, Allied Healthcare, and Visa. The best part? It's all free. Head here for more info. For extra credit, there's a more hiring focused series of events also put on by TheJobPost.
HR Analytics Conference and Workshop
Another London affair, the HR Analytics Conference and Workshop focuses on area of ever-growing import, data. Key personnel from UBS, Thames Water, and the University of London will be presenting their findings on analytics across several areas. Whether it's the cutting and chopping of data into actionable insights or finding and securing data-minded talent, you simply cannot spend enough time focusing on your organization's data strategy.
HR Tech Europe
Not to be confused with the US' HRTech event, HR Tech Europe is a massive event put on by the fine folks at HRN Europe. On March 24-25 in London, HR Tech Europe will feature speakers from London Business School, BBC, and Nexxworks, and is hosted by the mercurial Johnny Campbell of SocialTalent. In addition, HR Tech Europe's partner event, HR Tech World Congress, will take place in Paris on October 27-28.
The Global Recruiter UK Summit 2015: Evolutionary Recruitment
Also in London, the Global Recruiter Summit this year will focus on some serious hot button issues, namely diversity, gender, and working patterns. As their site explains:
The Global Recruiter UK Summit, Evolutionary Recruitment, will bring together industry experts to give an insight into the challenges of the current and new workplace and into how the business of recruitment and recruiters themselves are developing to deliver successful models. This is the ideal opportunity for recruiters and leaders of recruitment businesses to ensure their work and organisations stay relevant and deliver maximum value for maximum returns from clients and candidates.
HRO Forum EU
If you're looking for an excuse to check out Amsterdam, the HRO Forum is a great opportunity. This year's event promises to cover sourcing, data-based HR insights, developing engaged employees, and much more. The lineup for this year is still in the works, but last year's speaker list was just chock full of VPs, Heads of Talent, and researchers too numerous to reproduce here. Check back in in the coming months to see some specifics on what the HRO Forum has to offer.
HR Summit and Expo
The largest HR event in the Middle East for a decade now, Dubai's 2014 HR Summit and Expo boasted 6 keynote speakers, 60 panelists and other presenters, and 70 breakout sessions. Even if you can't jet off to Dubai for the conference, they've done you the favor of publishing a considerable amount of content which details the insights of the conference. Head here to check out Marshall Goldsmith's keynote address and several other in-depth studies.
Australasian Talent Conference
The 9th annual ATC in the land down under will focus on the intersection of recruitment and marketing, exploring areas such as content creation, new technologies, and data analytics. The keynotes this year are promising, featuring the respective Heads of Talent from Zappos and Amazon, Mike Bailen and Todd Davis. Also speaking is Kevin Wheeler, the Director and Founder of the Future of Talent Institute.
