About the Summit

Not another crowded expo hall. A retreat for the people who build teams.

TalentSphere brings together senior Recruiting and People Operations leaders, analysts, and TA technologists from across the U.S.: corporate recruiting leaders from Fortune 500s, enterprises, scaleups, and startups.

  • Peers, not pitches. Learn alongside the recruiting leaders shaping hiring strategy, process, and recruiting technology, through keynotes, panels, and working sessions on AI, data, and the future of TA.
  • Room to breathe. Thoughtful pacing, beautiful spaces, and retreat-like activations, from spa experiences and tastings to local city tours, with time to build connection, not collect badges.

Equal parts learning and unwinding

Every moment is designed with intention. Have a look back at our 2026 Summit.
