About this Event
Want to breathe life into your Employer Branding plans? Or finally get answers to your talent gripes? Join us on the 25th of June at voco hotel, Manchester for an insight packed day with industry peers and experts
We’ll be taking stock of 2026 so far, helping you shape a plan that actually works, and dig into what’s shifting in the TA and EB world. Think of it as a mid-year reset. A chance to hear from industry peers, gain some new perspectives and walk away with ideas that you can put to work the very next day.
And of course, we’ll wrap things up the only way a summer summit should: a few drinks, great conversation, and the kind of networking that doesn’t feel like networking.
Secure your space today – your future hiring strategy will thank you.
