The ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit is designed for talent acquisition leaders. Whether you're a director, manager, or senior recruiter, this event is built for those responsible for shaping hiring strategy, implementing new technologies, and leading recruiting teams. If you're looking for peer-driven insights, actionable ideas, and a strong professional community, the ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit is for you. ### Is this event in-person or virtual? The ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit will be a hybrid event, so you can attend either in-person or virtually! ### What are the differences between attending the ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit in-person vs. virtually? While there is nothing quite like the in-person experience, we strive to mirror it online as closely as we can. **Similarities:** - **Keynotes and Breakout Sessions:** Both in-person and virtual attendees can enjoy livestreamed keynotes and breakout sessions. - **Post-Event Session Recordings:** Everyone gets access to session recordings post-event, via ERE Pro, for three months. - **In-Person and Virtual Emcees:** All attendees will be guided through the event by an emcee, ensuring they don't miss out on any highlights. **Differences:** - **Speaker AMAs:** After each session, in-person attendees can continue the conversation with exclusive Q&A conversations with our speakers. - **Networking Opportunities:** In-person attendees may have more direct networking opportunities, while virtual attendees leverage digital tools for connection. - **Hands-on Exposure to New Technologies:** Virtual attendees interact with sponsors online, while in-person attendees have the added benefit of face-to-face engagement. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the ERE community - digitally or in person! ### What is the dress code?
