This year's seminar theatre is sponsored by PeopleHawk.
With Advanced AI and integrated career development tools, PeopleHawk empowers young people to develop and showcase their potential.

Schools benefit from a highly intuitive front end, delivering career activities aligned to best-practice frameworks.

What can I expect?

We have chosen this year’s themes through our research with previous visitors.

The world of work is constantly evolving, witnessing significant changes in working patterns, a continued rise in remote working, and widespread industry upheavals. In this dynamic landscape, access to high-quality lifelong career guidance becomes crucial to better equip the thousands of people our attendees support on a daily basis.

Join us in Leeds and leave better equipped to support young people, career seekers and changers at all stages of life.

Other key topics include:
