Bullhorn is uprooting from Boston and making the trek this year down to Texas. With over 1,300 attendees in 2019, this event has become a go to for networking and learning from leaders in the staffing industry.
8. Staffing Hub Live: Boulder, CO
DATE: September 28th-30th
I was lucky enough to attend their inaugural event this year and I am already looking forward to going back in 2020. This invite only conference has a more personal and intimate vibe. They have an intense focus on learning and charity. Throw in an amazing location like Boulder, this is a cannot miss event.
9. ASA Staffing World: Nashville, TN
DATE: October 20th-22nd
I wouldn’t be surprised if there were people out there still recovering from ASA Staffing World’s event in Last Vegas last year. In 2020 (perhaps thankfully) they’re moving the event to Nashville, but it still promises to be one the best staffing conferences of the year.There is something for everyone at Staffing World: they spare no expense to put on a great show, and you’ll walk away armed with knowledge and inspiration from their sessions and Keynote speakers.
10. TechServe Alliance: Amelia Island, Florida
DATE: November 10th-12th
Last but certainly not least: TechServe is specifically tailored to address complex issues facing IT & engineering staffing firms. At TechServe you’ll learn the tools and strategies to tackle the industry’s unique challenges.
Make sure you get yourself out to at least one of these conferences this year. Full disclosure, 247Hire has been known to sponsor a couple of them, but even the ones we won’t be at will be well worth your time. The connections you’ll make and the insights you’ll gain are invaluable and will energize you to take on the challenges to come throughout 2020.
