Australasian Talent Conference 2012, Sydney

The Largest Event For Corporate Talent Managers, HR Directors and Recruiters In The Southern Hemisphere

Dealing & Winning in a Rollercoaster Talent Market at #ATC2012 

Last year was a crazy rollercoaster of a year. Environmental disasters, a soaring dollar, a booming resources talent market and talent shortages still a growing concern.

We thought the most appropriate theme for this year’s conference would be one that addresses the roller coaster nature of our talent markets. As they swing up and down, contract and expand, and generally remain unpredictable, it is necessary to be prepared for anything.

The keys to long term recruiting and talent management success are:  agility, flexibility and the ability to anticipate future trends before they become real issues.

We are offering a variety of alternative approaches to dealing with this changing market. Our workshops and themes focus on:

• Developing agile talent planning skills
• Measuring the effectiveness of your strategies
• Finding scarce talent with greater efficiency
• Building flexible talent communities, and
• Approaching recruiting and learning with a six-sigma mindset and toolbox.

We have engaged established thought leaders to lead discussions and help us create new thinking – enabling us to deal with the ‘Rollercoaster’ of Talent Management.

As with other years, our successful format will include:

• “Unconference” sessions – participate and share ideas and best practices with your industry colleagues
• Networking receptions and expanded lunch-sessions – providing you the opportunity to network with your colleagues, visit vendors or grab a speaker for more in-depth discussion
• Sessions on emerging trends, the growth of sophisticated search tools, and the power of targeted marketing with social media

With well over 300 attendees, this is the largest and most complete talent conference in the Australasian region. We are working hard to expand our delegates to include professionals from Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and other Asian countries. This expanded delegate base gives you the chance to grow your network, learn from the emerging and highly competitive markets of Asia and broaden your understanding of the overall demand for talent.

The number and variety of technology and services vendors grows each year. Nowhere else do you have the opportunity to get a demonstration of and chat with key developers and users about new and exciting talent management technologies.

Join us for this our sixth annual conference at the beautiful, renovated Sofitel Sydney Wentworth Hotel in Sydney on 22nd to 24th May 2012.
