Top global business schools and corporates in one place: This year, China.

In its first inaugural year, the Highered Global Talent Summit will kick off summer 2019 in Shanghai, with organizations and recruitment experts to meet in a three-day networking event focused on Chinese talent recruitment and placement opportunities, both within China and abroad. The conference will bring together career services and human resource professionals in an unprecedented, unique forum in China to strategize on their global recruitment initiatives and hiring objectives. They will come away with a practical toolkit of resources and connections to be implemented, resulting in the acceleration of the matching of top talent to international opportunities. This year’s summit, China on the Rise: Your Talent Roadmap to Success, will kick off in one of the world’s most vibrant, buzzing cities where opportunities for strategic partnerships have no limits.
