Emerge returns to Sydney on July 28.
After last year’s incredible buzz at NSW Parliament House, we are heading back to give attendees a front-row view of the trends and strategies that are shaping the next era of staffing.
At Emerge, we are exploring how the market is evolving in real time — and how advances in technology are reshaping talent mobility, business models, and the role agencies play in the future workforce ecosystem.
We are unpacking how different models are converging and competing, with a strong focus on execution: how strategy is being turned into reality through the next phase of growth.
This is a conversation about what’s happening now — and what it means for where the market is heading next.
We’re thrilled to announce that Besa Deda, Chief Economist at William Buck, will join us on stage, bringing her sharp, data-led perspective on the labour market and workforce trends shaping our industry.
Joining the lineup is Kevin O’Neill, Technology Research Director at Staffing Industry Analysts. His work focuses on how AI, automation, and emerging platforms are transforming recruitment, workforce management, and operational efficiency - offering practical insight into how businesses can modernise and stay competitive.
Monique Richards (She/Her) will share Aquent’s evolving journey with AI, offering a candid view of how they are embedding AI into real recruitment workflows.
And back by popular demand, it's The Big Rec Quiz. Ross Clennett, one of Australia’s most respected recruitment trainers and industry commentators, returns to host.
Stay tuned for more speaker announcements and check out our early-release agenda below.
