feedback & pictures from The Talent Management 2024 meeting
“There was a great energy in the meeting. I loved that there was so much discussion and I had the opportunity to level set against how colleagues are managing the things that I'm struggling with.”
“Perfect size & relevant information. This is one of the most impactful HR conferences I have attended.”
“Fantastic. The topics and discussions were very insightful. I especially enjoyed the segment on AI & machine learning… Participants were very engaged and eager to share best practices, so the dialogue was great. I am looking forward in getting more involved if possible and participating in next year’s event in Boston.”
