The Global Talent Ecosystem

Who should attend?

Join an exclusive group of 30-40 Extended Workforce Leaders including Procurement, Talent Acquisition Leaders and Highly Vetted Sponsors as you collaborate on best practices in a safe and luxurious indoor/outdoor venue. ENTERPRISE ROUNDTABLE @ THE RITZ offers real-time market intelligence & insights for Outsourced and Internal Extended Workforce Programs. The following Enterprise Leaders may join:

Indirect Procurement

Talent Acquisition

Program Operations

How is this event different from a virtual event?

While virtual events are easy and efficient, assembling in a safe and secure environment creates the necessary space to deepen relationships and expand thinking… creating trust and uncovering new ways of working. (Being at The Ritz-Carlton, overlooking the Pacific Ocean doesn’t hurt, either.)

In-person and ad-hoc

The best conversations are unplanned and spontaneous. "Bump into" your next peer mentor and solution innovator.

Interactive Sessions

Lectures be gone! Dive deep during roundtables with Procurement and TA peers plus vetted, innovative provider sponsors.

Cocktails & Dinner

Experience a networking event like no other overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton.

Just Ask Our Members

"These events are exactly what is needed... perspectives from all corners of the global talent ecosystem. Thanks for setting this up. I'm sad I didn't know about it earlier."

A Luxury Coastal Retreat

When California residents seek reprieve from the city, they head to the northern coastline, drawing energy from the scenic beaches, untouched nature and fresh air. Set amid this tranquility is The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay, a blufftop resort overlooking the ocean. Discounted room block available.

Learn what Enterprise leaders do now and have done to build credibility and program awareness at the strategic level including influencing the C-suite..

The Evolution of VMS "Securing your buyers and backers"

VMS systems have evolved from primarily being a tool to capture and manage spend - to currently being developed into robust analytic, management and talent curation tools that can be leveraged to great strategic advantage. This roundtable dialogue will be a frank and open discussion amongst current Procurement & Talent Acquisition leaders as to what are the key drivers and outcomes the industry should be looking for from their VMS tools and partnerships. Implementing technological changes requires leaders to "secure their buyers and backers" of the program. Included in this topic is how key stakeholders are influenced to support and drive Extended Workforce Initiatives. Jon Beck, CEO & Founder, Ursus

Compliance Post-Covid: Maintaining control in an out of control world
