Looking To the Future: Navigating the Economic Downturn 9:45 AM - 10:30 AM
Featured Keynote
After over two years of pivots and innovation in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, university and emerging talent recruiting leaders are now facing an economic downturn that is reducing budgets, capacity, and headcount. From choosing the most impactful strategies to investing in their own talented team of recruiters and program managers, the stakes have never been higher to build for long-term success. In this keynote panel, RippleMatch CEO Andrew Myers will sit down with four leaders crafting the future of their programs. Join the conversation as we learn how they're tackling the biggest challenges of the moment and what excites them most about the future of early career hiring.
