The opportunity to get up on stage brought a whole lot of people to come talk to me that I may not have met otherwise, so I really developed some great relationships and new knowledge.”

Peter Dube Global Head of Executive Search Services, Kimberly-Clark

Presenting at the Avature conference really allowed us to share a lot of the best practices that we’ve discovered with other customers. It’s also been a conversation opener. I've gotten into conversations with other customers and talked about what they have been doing. They’ve asked us for advice, or they’ve given us advice if they've been doing something for longer.”

Maarten Verleyen HR System and Analytics Manager, Deloitte Belgium

To someone who is thinking about being a speaker at the conference, I can only say: ‘Do it.’ It’s fun doing all the preparation with the Avature team. And doing your presentation at the conference is a great experience.”

Patrick Kramer Business IT Advisor, TenneT
