On Thursday 28th May we are running a technology showcase event for recruitment professionals. You can spend the day with 20 recruitment technology and service providers; workshop sessions, technology debate, speed demos and informal networking time with our sponsors and independent recruitment technology experts.
Here are my top 10 reasons you should attend:
1) Time Saving
Meeting and viewing the product offerings of more than 20 different providers will take one afternoon instead of about five days if you did it any other way. 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”
3) Productive
Taking part in 20 minute speed demos really works “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” and “By having such 1-to-1 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!”
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. At a previous event at least one attendee viewed and purchased on the day – we don’t expect you to do that of course! Another attendee said: “it was great to benchmark what we have with new technologies” and another said “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.”
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! “Great event! Exactly what we wanted”
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’ll even fill you up with tea/coffee, biscuits AND lunch. Plus there is a prize draw for a meal for two!
7) Free Workshops
As well as the speed demos, keynote and debate session we’ve got great workshops from some of our independent experts around subjects such as Advanced LinkedIn Sourcing, How Recruiters can use Online Video to attract candidates and find new clients, Finding People Online is Easy, Getting a Response is Not, How to integrate Social Media effectively at the heart of we already do and Data and Recruitment Quite honestly you will be swimming in nuggets of knowledge by the end of the day. From the last event one attendee said “Great event which allowed me to network and make some good contacts. The workshops were very valuable and I have taken a lot of ideas and tips from these. ”
8) Independent Experts
We have the Magnificent Seven at the UK Recruiter Showcase Event; 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
Johnny Campbell of Social Talent is flying in especially to deliver the keynote. We guarantee you’ll get value from his presentation or your money back!!!
10) Beers…
Finally.. during the entertaining afternoon debate session you can enjoy some free beers on us (we know recruiters!)
