Introducing StaffingHub Live!
About the Event
Staffing Hub live is an event for executives who want to grow their business faster.
Attendees will learn best practices for growing their team. Attend workshops on selecting their tech stack. And hear from executives who have scaled through acquisition.
At most conferences, you only get a few minutes to connect with other attendees. This event centers around one stage, one agenda, and one goal – growth.
Join like-minded executives and build meaningful connections that will help you grow faster.
Here is what StaffingHub Live has to offer:
- Learn from leading staffing industry executives exactly how to grow your staffing firm faster.
- Get a specific, actionable game plan for growth, tailored to your firm’s strengths and challenges.
- Join us for workshops, roundtables, speed-talks, and mentoring with staffing industry leaders.
- Gain industry connections with vendors and executives dedicated to helping you scale.
- Benefit from post-conference follow up to help you remain on track with your growth goals.
At most conferences, you’ll come away with great ideas, but it’s often difficult to implement once you’re back in the office. At StaffingHub Live, we provide you a framework to get sh!t done.
During our time together, you’ll hear from executives who have successfully overcome the challenges you may be facing right now. We have carved out time to network and build meaningful relationships. Join us in Boulder to gain new staffing skills and share your expertise.
