The Future of Technical Talent Retention
About this Event
In a rapidly changing world of work, retaining technical talent has become one of the biggest challenges facing organisations today.
As technology evolves and AI reshapes the workplace, expectations around career growth, flexibility, and purpose are changing too.
Join HR and people professionals, industry leaders, and talent specialists for an engaging discussion on how organisations can better attract, develop, and retain technical talent in an increasingly competitive landscape.
This event is an opportunity to hear different perspectives, share experiences, and build meaningful connections with peers facing similar challenges. Through keynote insights and an interactive panel discussion, we will explore practical approaches to retention, the changing expectations of technical professionals, and how organisations can prepare for the future of work.
Topics will include:
- What encourages technical talent to stay, and what drives them to leave
- The impact of AI and changing skills needs on workforce planning
- Supporting career growth, engagement, and long-term retention
- Creating environments where technical talent can thrive
Whether you work in HR, people management, technology leadership, or talent strategy, this event offers an opportunity to exchange ideas, grow your network, and take away practical insights to support your organisation.
Join the conversation and help shape the future of technical talent retention.
