Global Recruitment Conference – Final update

The GRC 2008 conference takes place this week in Amsterdam.  Organised by Alan Whitford and Keith Robinson, it’s bound to be a superb event.

Recognising that many of you may find it awkward to take two days out of the office in these challenging times, GRC 2008 is offering readers the chance to attend one day  of GRC 2008 for a special price of just €350.  Log into the web site, www.globalrecruitmentconference.com, enter the code “UKR One Day” in the Discount Code text field to receive this offer.

Alan has also asked me to mention a couple of extra features about the conference:

Live Video Streaming to ERE.net
Recruitment Community Europe is pleased to announce that, in conjunction with ERE.net, keynote and selected speaker sessions at Global Recruitment Conference 2008 will be streamed live to the international recruitment community. Video feeds will be featured live on ERE.net and on the newly launched Recruitmentcommunityeurope.com site.

Interactive Web Based Presentation from Hank Stringer
In another first for GRC 2008, Hank Stringer’s presentation, The Talent Forces of Tomorrow, will be presented via a live web link from Austin Texas to the Amsterdam Hilton.  The webcast will be a combination of presentation and live web chat for the Question and Answer period.

Two new Breakfast Briefings and additional speaker at GRC 2008

I was planning to be at the conference (blogging on the topics as they are presented).  However, due to circumstances beyond my control I won’t be there.  So, if you are going and want to send some content for my blog I’d be very grateful….!
