The HR Retreat is a sophisticated and carefully curated environment, bringing together 80 senior HR Leaders leaders and their potential partners to connect and explore opportunities over two days and nights. Attendance is by-invitation only, ensuring that only the most senior and influential HR professionals supercharging the employee experience within their organisations are in attendance.

THE CALIBRE OF HUMANS HAS BLOWN ME AWAY. I've really enjoyed connecting with senior HR leaders in every industry across Australia and New Zealand.
IT’S BEEN AMAZING. The ability to connect with peers with all different experiences across all sectors, to be very honest and vulnerable about the challenges that you're facing, it's really invaluable.
MY EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN FANTASTIC. Having the opportunity to really get out and network, you don’t get that opportunity at other conferences I have been to. Everyone has had an opportunity to connect, to meet each other.
