Talent Board, a non-profit organization focused on the promotion and benchmark research of a quality candidate experience, today announced virtual access to main-stage sessions at their 2022 CandE Awards & TalentNet Live Conference on November 3 in Dallas, TX.

Kicking off their main conference day on the morning of November 3 is an inspirational keynote from Leslie Maxie — a 1988 US Olympian and an international speaker whose motto is, “Excellence is not an accident.” Leslie’s keynote presentation will inspire attendees with the message that no matter what happens in the world, bold resilience is the key to purposeful excellence in the world of work, recruiting, hiring, and retention.

The rest of the day will include other informative keynotes and main stage panel discussion sessions featuring feature TA leaders from across industries and companies like Ford, Alcon, Microsoft, Uber, Raytheon, Southwest, Celanese, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, GoDaddy, and many others.

“Obviously it’s not new to offer virtual access to live in-person events, especially coming out of the pandemic,” said Kevin Grossman, Talent Board president. “However, we want to ensure our mission of elevating and promoting a quality candidate experience is accessible to anyone in recruiting and hiring that might benefit from hearing our keynotes and our practitioner panel discussions. The reality is that there are organizations with limited conference and travel budgets this year and we want them to experience our first in-person recruiting, hiring, and candidate experience conference in over 3 years.”

• Keynote: Leslie Maxie, 1988 US Olympian, Media Personality, International Speaker — Excellence Is Not an Accident: The Key to Resilience in Recruiting
