LIVE DINNER

Your Top Strategic Threats Solved: The Early Talent Solution

18th April 2023, Dallas 18:30 - 21:30 CDT
In partnership

Dinner Location: Corrientes 348

Organizations large and small are grappling with uncertain market conditions in 2023. And it’s still hard to foresee the obstacles and uphill battles hidden around the corner. As the pressure mounts, many employers are re-examining their workforce and tools.

The same cuts and layoffs made today could inhibit future success and exacerbate tech talent or skills gaps. It’s a gamble you can’t afford to lose. The good news is that organizations can navigate volatile market conditions and solve many of their top challenges by strategically investing in cost-efficient, future-focused early talent. Gen Z talent is increasingly valuable to modern businesses. Interns and young professionals that you hire today have the potential to make an enormous impact. So how do you attract and retain early talent? How do you achieve diversity, equity, and inclusion? And how can you hit your hiring goals with decreased budgets? Join us for an evening of networking and conversation around building early talent strategies that solve key strategic threats.

We look forward to seeing you in Dallas.
