L&D + HR Symposium 2024 | Ashton Media | 29 July 2024 | Rydges Resort Hunter Valley, 430 Wine Country Dr, Lovedale NSW 2325, Australia

A business’s success lies with its people, so harnessing and nurturing the talent within is crucial in maintaining and growing competitive advantage. The economic climate and the battle for talent has only heightened the importance of the end-to-end employee experience, and L&D and HR leaders need to move quickly to adapt to these changes to set their business and their people up for success.

Here are just some of the questions we’ll be tackling at the L&D + HR Symposium:

• How can we set our organisations up for success in the AI era?
• What does the right to disconnect mean in a world of flexible working?
• How can we better integrate our people data sources to garner greater insight and influence key business decisions?
• What do we need to consider when designing an end-to-end employee experience for a more diverse workforce than ever before?
• What can we do to prioritise employee wellbeing while driving business success?

Here’s what you can expect
• Open and Collaborative
• Space & Time to Think and Connect
• the Most Influential Minds in The Industry
• Peer-To-Peer Learning
• Safe and Sophisticated Environment
