The conference, now in its 28th year, connects top leadership from across the staffing world in a platform dedicated to furthering actionable insights and advancing knowledge for business success in the industry.

“To answer the challenges that come with a technical talent shortage, our industry is now leveraging AI at every stage of the recruitment process,” said Valentine. “Even though we are able to reach more candidates quicker than ever before, the importance of fostering real connections can’t be an afterthought. To truly optimize talent acquisition strategy, businesses must strive to balance the AI they need, with the human connections our industry was built upon.”
“This year’s Executive Forum North America takes aim at empowering high-performance executive leadership and breaking through barriers to personal and organizational growth,” said Barry Asin, SIA President. “Our 2019 speakers give us a lens through which to view industry trends, staffing leadership and the critical decisions, challenges, issues and opportunities facing leaders today.
