About
A closed-door summit for senior Talent Acquisition leaders.
Join us at GEODIS Park, Nashville on September 22nd for the RecFest Leadership Summit – a one-day leadership experience created exclusively for senior Talent Acquisition leaders.
Taking place the day before RecFest USA, the summit brings together an influential group of TA leaders for strategic insight, candid discussion and meaningful peer connection in a more focused environment.
As AI, skills shortages, economic pressure and changing business models reshape organisations, Talent Acquisition is being pulled into conversations that sit far beyond hiring. Workforce strategy, organisational design, capability planning, automation, productivity and business transformation are now firmly on the agenda.
The question is no longer simply how TA can hire better.
It is whether TA can become a true architect of the future workforce.
This summit gives senior leaders the space to explore that shift, challenge traditional assumptions and define the role Talent Acquisition should play in the next era of business.

Agenda
The conversations shaping the next era of TA Leadership
Across the day, sessions will explore how Talent Acquisition can move upstream of hiring demand and play a more influential role in the decisions shaping the future workforce.
From AI, automation and skills shortages to economic uncertainty, organisational redesign and changing executive expectations, TA leaders are being asked to contribute far beyond requisitions.
This content will challenge senior leaders to rethink where TA creates value, how the function can influence workforce strategy before hiring begins, and what capabilities will be needed to become a more strategic partner to HR, Finance, Operations and the wider business.
