This free meeting, open to IOR members and non-members, will include a series of talks outlining the alliance’s purpose and strategic objectives, and will be complemented by structured breakout sessions focused on topics including talent acquisition, qualifications, and employer engagement. These discussions will encourage the exchange of ideas and play a central role in shaping the alliance’s future direction.
