RecFest is a one day celebration of all things in-house recruitment and resourcing.
With an emphasis on the power of sharing, RecFest will result in the largest
conversation of in-house recruitment professionals ever seen.
During the day, The Main Stage will see six of the industries foremost thought leaders talk on a wide variety of subjects, under the theme “Challenge an Industry”. Following each guest speaker, festivalgoers, in tables of ten, will discuss the topics covered and share their own experiences, before moving to another table at random and repeating the process, creating a melting pot of peer-to-peer learning.
Festivalgoers can expect to walk away challenged yet inspired, with a wealth of new contacts and ideas to take back to their businesses.

Carry on discussing the subjects of the day, or just grab a beer, some food and listen to the music, the choice is yours.
