Lead the shift: Be in the room at Emerge 2025

Written By: Lesley Horsburgh, APSCo Australia Managing Director

It’s conference time again. In the lead up to year, part of my content planning is to take time to sit and evaluate how the market feels, what members are communicating and what signals are surfacing that might indicate change ahead. It’s part fact finding, part forecasting and is one of the highlights of my calendar.

This year feels different. The signals are popping up everywhere and the constant rhetoric from Members and the broader market is one of challenge. If COVID gave us unprecedented times then AI is set to usher in a transformation that's deeper, more structural, and of course, permanent.

Add to that the backdrop of global economic uncertainty, rising operating expenditure, complex regulation and compliance, margin pressure and underperforming teams, and there has never felt like more need for a shift in how we see our value than now.

Emerge 2025 will tackle the technological revolution we are all experiencing and combine the stories of how recruitment firms are using this time of transformation to diversify, create value and ensure their businesses stay relevant.

From steering the P&L through times of change, leveraging legal and compliance hurdles to gain commercial outcomes and understanding where your focus is best directed, this is going to be a day that I think that we will all remember.

We’ve got some of the most reputable names in the market lined up and I cannot wait to see you all there!
