The HR Retreat is back for a second year.
18
hours of meticulously
designed networking
As demanded by HR leaders,
welcome to the HR Retreat.
Following the huge success of Ashton Media’s HR Symposium in the Hunter Valley, we’re excited to announce the return of the two-day and two-night retreat-style networking event designed specifically for the Victorian HR Community – the HR Retreat – which made its debut in the beautiful Mornington Peninsula last year.
Following in the footsteps of the unique and highly respected HR Symposium in the Hunter Valley, the HR Retreat will host 80 of Victoria’s most senior HR and people leaders for two days of intimate networking and idea sharing. The agenda is carefully curated to deliver the best international and local case studies, thought-provoking panel discussions and insightful Think Tank discussions, all interspersed with the time and space you need to have real and meaningful conversations with your peers.
This is an unrivalled opportunity to step outside of the routine, away from the to-do list, and spend two days fully immersed in what matters most: tackling your challenges with peers, exploring opportunities with prospective partners, and strengthening your HR strategy. There’s no other event like it.
