CWS Summit North America is the largest, most dynamic event of its kind, attracting HR, procurement and workforce solutions management professionals from Fortune 2000 companies in its most evolutionary year ever. Featuring a content-rich line up of keynote presentations, the very latest SIA research, real-world case studies, and expert-led panel discussions, the 2020 CWS Summit North America explores pressing issues related to the conference theme of Talent, Technology, Tomorrow in a collaborative, unparalleled virtual conference setting. As attendees prepare to take their workforce solutions program into the future and continue to navigate global uncertainty, CWS Summit draws on world-leading expertise, including compelling keynotes from SIA’s Jo Matkin, Global Workforce Solutions Research Director, and Executive Coach and Bestselling Author Marshall Goldsmith, and connects the professional community in real-time via the CWS Summit virtual exhibit hall, live Q&A sessions, the conference networking lounge, 1:1 chats and the platform’s advanced functionality and opportunities for interaction and engagement.
Collaboration in the Gig Economy, SIA's award-winning newest annual event, is designed for all players in the talent supply chain, including workforce solutions enterprise buyers, staffing firms, RPO, VMS, MSP, suppliers to staffing, gig economy and human cloud companies, to come together and find solutions for sourcing, deploying and retaining talent in this new world of work. This Virtual Conference puts attendees at the center of the action to innovate and envision the opportunities and challenges from a collective perspective. The 2020 Collaboration in the Gig Economy: Transforming and Optimizing the Talent Supply Chain looks intensively at how emerging and disruptive technologies offer new opportunities beyond traditional models and what this means given the impact of the global pandemic, with SIA President Barry Asin and Disruptive Technology Guru Don Tapscott as featured keynote speakers and a fully array of engagement and live interaction throughout the conference.
“The world has undergone dramatic change in recent months and none of us remain untouched by the circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact is being felt across the global workforce solutions ecosystem and the future will require tremendous resiliency: resilient & innovative leaders, teams and organizations,” said Ursula Williams, COO at SIA. “While the 2020 CWS Summit North America and Collaboration in the Gig Economy in-person conferences are an annual highlight for many, we are excited to be able to connect the ecosystem at this exceedingly pivotal time and bring all of us together in new ways for much needed exchange of ideas, insights and collaboration. As we look ahead to a re-imagined future, there are no bags to pack, no flights to catch, just an incredible opportunity to join speakers, sponsors and workforce solutions professionals at two state-of-the-art Virtual Conferences that harness leading expertise, cutting-edge strategic, programmatic and tactical insights, and the most comprehensive research findings available on contingent work, providing a roadmap for resiliency and a next-level experience.”
