The Big Tops are Back!
The Inspire Stage
Where the future of TA is challenged, reframed, and reimagined
The Inspire Stage is where our community comes together to tackle the big questions. This year, we’re keeping the focus on high-caliber, strategic storytelling that resonates. This is about real people sharing the weight of their experiences – the wins, the hard pivots, and the substance behind the strategy. It’s the place to find your “why” again and see how the most influential voices in TA are leading with purpose. Expect powerful stories, bold ideas and thought-provoking insight designed to energise, challenge assumptions, and remind us why talent has never mattered more.
What to expect: High-production keynotes, global TA leaders, and transformative strategy that transcends the day-to-day.
The Disrupt Stage
Where next-generation technology meets strategic TA thinking
We’re cutting through the noise and moving past the AI hype. The Disrupt Stage is for the practitioners who want to see the “how” behind the “wow.” This is a case-study-led deep dive into the technology actually moving the needle in Talent Acquisition. If it doesn’t deliver a measurable impact, you won’t find it here.

Day 2: Tech in Practice – Real-world client case studies. No theories, just honest accounts of how leading organizations are implementing tech to drive ROI.
The Unplugged Stage
Real talk. No filters. Raw insight.
Welcome to the most candid corner of RecFest. The Unplugged Stage is where we lower the corporate guard and get into the “unscripted” realities of the industry. It’s personal, it’s insightful, and it’s rooted in the actual experiences of people doing the work.
Day 1: Unscripted Leadership – Raw, honest panels featuring TA leaders discussing the things they don’t usually say on a main stage. No scripts, just transparency.
Day 2: The Talent Engine – A deep dive into Talent Strategy and Internal Mobility. Learn how to unlock the potential already sitting within your org to boost retention and build from within.
The Innovate Stage
Challenging traditional models to solve modern TA problems
The Innovate Stage is your space for looking at things differently. It’s for the problem-solvers who know that recruitment isn’t just a process, it’s about finding better ways to connect with people. We’re getting together to move past the “we’ve always done it this way” mindset and build something that actually works for your teams and your candidates today.
Day 1: The New Blueprint – We’re challenging traditional models to solve modern TA headaches.
Day 2: The Art of Attraction – A masterclass in Employer Brand and Recruitment Marketing. Discover how to use storytelling and digital influence to win the hearts (and applications) of top talent.
