  • Last year myself and EY colleagues found the conference added a whole tonne of value to our future planning. It wasn’t your typical conference – more of a deep dive into what’s really happening in talent acquisition. Focusing on the topics that matter including AI in recruitment and effective early careers programme management. It you’re serious about staying on top of your game, the ISE conference is the place to be.

  • I always find the ISE Recruitment Conference a great opportunity to connect with peers, hear about innovations and new ideas, and reflect our Early Careers strategy for the year ahead.

  • When I first attended the ISE Conference I learned so much from the people I met and the sessions I attended.  Over 15 years later I keep going back because every year I still learn something new.
