The Talent Edge: Turning Economic Downturns Into Opportunities Through Innovation

Opening Keynote:
As the economy bounces back, companies that invested in talent and technology during the slowdown will gain a serious edge, while those that cut too deep will be left behind. In this keynote, William Tincup—editor, analyst, advisor, and host of WRKdefined—will share how staffing, recruiting, and talent leaders can turn tough times into opportunities by building strong talent infrastructure. He’ll talk about why it’s crucial to take risks, fail fast, and test AI-driven solutions rather than waiting for the perfect answer. By staying bold and adaptable, leaders can keep ahead of the curve as the talent landscape evolves. Don’t miss this session for real-world strategies to thrive at the intersection of technology and human expertise.
