The conference will also feature tracked sessions around the themes of Preparing for Change and Evolving & Innovative, with sessions providing an intensive look at flexible workforce solutions from varied perspectives, and covering areas such as MSP/VMS implementation, pricing strategies, RPO and latest SIA research findings. The agenda offers dedicated networking and discussion sessions, and delegates are invited to interact in a special CWS Connect Roundtable Reception in which participants explore the potential differences between local and international programme operations and the unique issues specific to the region, including around Talent Acquisition, Programme Adoption, Legislation, Driving Value, Technology, and Total Talent Acquisition.  

“Labour markets across the globe are being impacted by tremendous change. The current shifts—demographic, economic, cultural and technological— extend both the challenges and the appreciable opportunities around flexible workforce programmes,” said Barry Asin, President of SIA. “CWS Summit Asia Pacific presents leading insights for strengthening talent management and brings global executives together to understand and prepare for the future of work.”
