RCSA Conference innovations

With an innovative approach to the leadership debate, this yearís Recruitment and Consulting Services Associationís will feature ìChampagne Roundtablesî and hosted dinners to allow delegates to get ìup close and personalî in the debates.

ìThis Conference aims to provide senior executives of the industry with a dedicated networking and professional development forum that will foster discussion and communication between delegates, presenters and industry supporters,î said Julie Mills CEO of the RCSA.

One of the highlights this year is the ëChampagne Roundtablesí session: informal discussions with experts in their fields, with the flexibility for delegates to move between tables to share insights and ideas, and discuss the issues affecting their companies.

These interactive briefings of around 30 minutes each cover a range of topics, including:
Identity Crisis: are you ready for the Smart Card?
WorkChoices: where are you up to?
Insurance in the global market
Workers Compensation Premiums: a reduction strategy
Portable OHS and employment inductions
Changing nature of work: what is your plan?
Help your clients pay your accounts
Debt management for effective business results
Protect your business: negotiating indemnity clauses
Building your brand to increase results
Benchmarks and metrics for your operations
Email marketing trends and best practice
Maximising your key asset: your staff
Beating your competition: increasing prices and margins
Attraction and retention: what else can be done?
Job order or strategic partner?

ìAnother great innovation this year is the Dinner Experiences on Thursday evening, where delegates can be entertained and dine in a more intimate setting at one of four of the Gold Coastís best restaurants.

ìDinners will be hosted by the major sponsors of the Conference and delegates will nominate which event they want to attend ñ these events are under wraps until the Conference opening but each promises to be a night to remember!î said Ms Mills.

The venues are:
Lygon Street Restaurant, a contemporary, award-winning eatery featuring modern cuisine

The Villa, an opulent former private residence on the Nerang River, surrounded by beautiful gardens and private lakes filled with wildlife.
