EVENT DETAILS

Time: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM AEST

WHY ATTEND?

Australia's talent market has never been more competitive. While some companies are winning the war for talent, others are stuck competing on salary alone and watching their top candidates ghost them for competitors with stronger employer brands.

The difference? A well-defined, authentically delivered Employee Value Proposition.

But here's what most organisations get wrong: they build EVPs that look gorgeous in PowerPoint but don't translate to actual results. Beautiful frameworks that sit in shared drives while the hiring team struggles to fill roles.

This summit cuts through the noise. Just Australia's sharpest EVP and employer brand minds sharing the frameworks, strategies, and real-world wins that are working right now in the trenches.

WHAT YOU'LL GAIN:

✓ Proven EVP frameworks from organisations actually winning in Australia's tightest talent markets
✓ Activation strategies that bring your EVP to life (not just make it look pretty)
✓ Measurement approaches that prove ROI to skeptical CFOs
✓ Real case studies from people solving your exact challenges
✓ Strategic connections with 130-150 senior HR Directors and TA Leaders who get it
✓ Practical takeaways you can implement Monday morning

WHO'S IN THE ROOM?

Join HR Directors, Heads of Talent Acquisition, Employer Brand Managers, and Chief People Officers from Australia's most innovative organisations.

2024-2025 Attendees Included: Revlon • CommBank • Westpac • Coles • Atlassian • Mars • Deloitte • Levande • Coates • hipages • Docusign • LinkedIn • ING • Culture Amp • AECOM • Optus • NBN • Woolworths • Telstra • Transurban • Veolia • Diageo • Macquarie • Glassdoor • Hungry Jack's • BaptistCare • Richard Crookes Constructions • Experian • The Smith Family • Tennis Australia • and 30+ more

THIS SUMMIT IS FOR YOU IF:

You're responsible for attracting and retaining quality talent in markets where the good candidates have five other offers.

Perfect if you:

• Can't reach the specific talent you need (graduates, diverse candidates, specialists) through generic job ads
• Need an EVP that actually differentiates you, not just sounds nice
• Are bleeding quality candidates to organisations with stronger employer brands
• Have to prove employer brand ROI to leadership who "don't get it"
• Want frameworks you can use, not theories you'll forget by Tuesday
• Are building or refining your organisation's talent attraction strategy

ABOUT THE EVP SUMMIT

The EVP Summit is different: 130-150 senior practitioners, genuine insights from people in the arena, practical frameworks you can actually use. It's the event we wished existed when we started building employer brands and wanted to learn from and be inspired by the best people in Australia.
