The SAGEA Development Conference aims to connect you to colleagues who are committed to the development of talent as employers, institutions of higher learning or solution providers.
The 2022 Conference will provide you with the opportunity to focus on broader issues impacting the development of young talent – by learning from experts, discovering the latest trends and discussing solutions and methods which can be used to handle common challenges experienced by graduate employers. Using a combination of keynote speakers and practical case studies, the format of the Conference will encourage sharing of information, feedback and debate.
