10:30 am	10:45 am	Welcome & How #tru works
10:45 am	11:30 am	Get giggy with it: Why acquisition is not enough - Michelle Fotheringham - Not all talent want to be ‘acquired’. There are a growing number of highly skilled professionals who want to be ‘accessed’. These corporate escapees aren’t interested in a traditional job but want to be engaged by a portfolio of organisations to deliver high impact projects, services and deliverables. So what oh what does this mean for leaders, P&C and talent teams? And what sort of organisational opportunities does this more agile work model unlock? Jump into this gig-antic discussion as we explore the professional gig economy.	Dead Wood - did you attract it.... or did you kill it? - Sarah Penno - The desire from some leaders to get "bums on seats" and recruit to fill. How can you as a TA specialist lead and coach your hiring managers to select the best people.. and then not kill the culture when they get here?	Winning the War on Talent - Anna Glynn - our four intrinsic needs and how employers can meet these to win the war on talent-	Connecting with bright young minds (Gen Z) - Tim Way. - How to reach, influence and support early career talent as they transition into the workforce.
11:30 am	12:45 pm	Do you need / Have a recruitment strategy - Rachel Hill. - We are living in a highly adaptive world that is changing the way in which we work, hire, attract, engage and connect with employees and candidates. Our recruitment pathways are more complex and uncertain than ever before. Unemployment is the lowest it's been (3.5%) in 2023 than since 1974. The old skills, practices and attitudes for recruitment are no longer fit for purpose.	"Turning a Supertanker" ....evolving your current approach to strategic resourcing - Craig Morling. - What happens when it's time for an organisation to take stock, and rethink it's approach to strategic resourcing in the face of a "Supply outstripped by Demand" candidate marketplace...with a large number of key stakeholders unaware there is even a problem. Come along and discuss how best to use data in making a case, redefining what good likes (and when!), the condundrum of Internal V External routes to capability, and better leveraging what you already have in delivering change...along with whatever else bubbles up during the conversation.	Black sheep or older worker - Paula Kilby - Why you should consider older workers and what they bring to the fore. Is there a bias towards hiring older candidates? Is ageism really a thing? What you can do to ensure everyone gets a fair go…	Win-Win Solutions: Unlocking the Power of Sabbaticals and Career Breaks for Employees and Employers - Rebecca Thomas - Beating burnout and beyond. The benefits of sabbaticals and career breaks to both employees and employers.
12:45 pm	1:30 pm	Lunch
1:30 pm	2:00 pm
2:00 pm	2:45 pm	Decarbonisation - what is HR’s role? - Joel McInnes - Decarbonisation offers HR the opportunity to influence the largest economic transformation since the Industrial Revolution. How might we lean in? In the coming years, every business will need to transform for a clean energy economy. This session will look at what decarbonisation really means, and go deep in understanding HR’s role in designing and delivering the people side of a completely new set of business models that are fit for purpose in a 2 degree plus world.	Talent teams as value-add partners and not order-takers - Laura White. - Ditch the order pad, unlock potential! In this track we'll talk about how to redefine talent teams as proactive powerhouses, not passive order-takers. Let's talk about how to unleash the true strategic value your talent team holds, beyond simply filling positions.	Not just another number: Reframing high-volume recruitment to high-value recruitment - David Pytko - Research is showing in Disability support that clients' choice and control in who supports them, and the relationships they have with the people that support them, is the most important factor they look for. How can TA teams harness technology and human-centred design to go beyond the numbers to include human connection for all.
2:45 pm	3:30 pm	Talent Ops - 100 free TA Improvements - Jenna Rundle - Sick of attending events and hearing from big budget TA teams about the 'amazing' work they've done? The reality is most TA teams operate on a shoestring budget. You want to innovate and improve your TA function so what can you do for free or cheap? Well lots actually. Join our Talent Ops experts to hear and share ideas about what TA improvements you can do for free.

"Diverse Horizons: Crafting an Inclusive Path in Senior and Executive Hiring" - Andy Steeds - Australia still has a massive problem with representation in leadership roles across a number of industries. Impacting executive decision-making to ensure organisations are still only bringing in top-talent, whilst still being additive to their diversity objectives a never ending challenge. Join this session to discuss the hurdles, pitfalls and opportunities in navigating the landscape of diversity in senior and exec hiring.
3:30 pm	4:15 pm	Do we really care about talent? - Julia Steel - Spoiler alert, of course we do! But there is always more we could do to attract, retain and stay connected, even if they leave. Join this track to discover, debate and design what caring about talent really means.	A 2024 Recruiter walked into a 2002 Organisation… - Anna Sulit - A 2024 recruiter arrives at a new organisation. Unknowingly, they have stepped back into 2002. There are no other Recruiters… anywhere… The People Leaders are doing all their own Recruitment. Dun dun dun! How could we as modern day Recruitment & TA Experts arm, equip, educate, lift up, support and enable Hiring Managers to do what we do. What technology, automation, AI can be unlocked? What processes, strategies, innovations can be repurposed for non-recruiters? Lets jump into how you Recruit without a Recruiter. Share your favourite tips, tricks, tech and magic and maybe take away some new ones too!	Redefining Career Management in the Age of Longevity - Zoe Badalassi. - Join this track to explore the future of career management in our evolving work landscape. With the traditional 'one-role-for-life' approach increasingly obsolete, professionals must now navigate continuous transitions in their multifaceted working lives. As the concept of a fixed "retirement age" fades, this session explores how we must advocate for shared responsibility to better plan for sustainable careers. Join me to discuss challenging norms and uncovering innovative approaches to career management.

Interested in Leading a Track?

Tracks?

Tracks mean topics and themes, which are navigated by a track leader, who sets the direction the discussion goes.

Track leaders will run a 40-minute track on a chosen topic with participants sitting around in a circle. The track leader begins the discussion with a 5-10 minute background on their topic and then opens the topic up for discussion within the group. From then on, anyone can contribute, offer an opinion, ask questions, tell a story or even take the conversation in a different direction!

So the track leader is like a keynote speaker?

No, the track leader moderates and facilitates the discussion and keeps it alive with ideas and questions.

Tracks can go off in any direction. At times, the best insights are offered by the participants themselves, people who perhaps don’t normally get the spotlight at events but who have great insights to offer or just really interesting questions to ask.
