Talent Attraction Summit
We’ve been to lots of conferences. Whether they’re for economic developers, chamber professionals, community builders, or place marketers, we always hear the same thing from other attendees:
Where is the talent attraction content?
So we decided to make our own.
Here at RoleCall, talent attraction is what we do. It’s ALL we do.
And the annual Talent Attraction Summit focuses entirely on talent, bringing together the country’s most innovative, creative, strategic leaders and practitioners to dig deep, share successes, and continue pushing this industry forward.
