On Thursday 16th October we are running a full day technology showcase event for recruitment professionals. You will spend the day with 20 recruitment technology providers and we’ll provide the right mix of product overviews, learning sessions, technology debate, speed demos and informal networking time.
Here are my top 10 reasons you should attend – I’ll be blogging more around then in the coming weeks.
1) Time Saving
Meet and see the product offerings of 20 different providers in one day. Locating, contacting and meeting up with 20 technology providers any other way would take days. As one previous attendee said “without attending the event it would have taken weeks to research and speak with as many providers as I did”
2) Interesting
You’ll chat with people and see products that you wouldn’t have considered under normal circumstances. “ I really enjoyed it, got some new ideas and contacts and would attend again”. Here are some photos of the people and products from our June tech event
3) Productive
Our 20 minute speed demos really work: “The 20 mins was good as if you didn’t want to hear any more then you didn’t feel rude leaving. If you want to hear more then you can make contact at a future time”
4) Business benefit
You will see products that can bring real business benefit to your organisation; saving you time and/or money, increasing productivity, allowing you better profit margins, etc. Not everyone is looking to buy right now; an attendee said: “it was great to benchmark what we have with new technologies”
5) Enjoyable
You’ll enjoy the day. 100% of respondents to our post-event questionnaire from the same event last year said they enjoyed the event! Here’s a comment from one “Really enjoyed the event, it was intimate and more like a social gathering, we got exactly what we were after and more from the event, so very happy. Big thank you to the organisers.”. If you want to see how much fun it is check out of YouTube video from June’s event.
6) Cost
It’s a free event – yes you pay a deposit when you register but we’ll refund that after you’ve attended. Plus we provide morning and afternoon tea/coffee and biscuits, plus lunch AND beers at the end of the day!
7) Free Workshops
As well as the speed demos, keynote and debate session we’ve got great workshops from independent experts. “The workshops were very valuable and I have taken a lot of ideas and tips from these.”
8) Independent Experts
A fabulous line-up of experts who will happily be on hand during the day to offer their expertise, advice and help on any technology subject.
9) Brilliant Keynote
Still under wraps – but we won’t let you down.
10) Beers & a prize draw…
Finally.. during the entertaining afternoon debate session you can enjoy some free beers on us (we know recruiters!) and be in with a chance to win a bottle of champagne and a meal for two.
11) Just do it.
Here is one final testimonial: “Great event. We attended not for the structured presentations or pitches etc, but in a “speed dating” context to get around to quickly look at each system in one room in one day. By having such 1-to-1 Q&A /demo sessions with each vendor we were able to take a quick look inside the systems as appropriate to our business needs. Thanks for organising, well run event and nice sandwiches”
