Meetups offers real-time market intelligence & insights for Extended Workforce Programs. The following Enterprise Leaders may join:

Virtual events vs. In-person events

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 in Brussels 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.​

Cocktail Mixer

Experience a networking event like no other. Relax and unwind with peers and new colleagues. Grow your network and find affinities with each other.

FREE Tickets Available

Enterprise Clients attend for FREE including the in-person event plus cocktail networking reception.

Train ride away

Located in the center of Brussels and convenient by train and plane.

LinkedIn Live

Keynotes will be LIVE broadcasted on LinkedIn to reach thousands of Talent Leaders around the world.

BREAKOUT #1

Non-permanent Workforce: Your Journey to Digitisation

By 2023, it is estimated that more than half of the workforce will be contingent workers, and technology is increasingly playing a critical role in how your source, manage and optimise external talent. Join this roundtable to discuss with your peers where you are on your journey to digitisation, and understand some of the key considerations that can help or potentially hinder a digital approach to contingent workforce management.
