The Global Talent Ecosystem

Who should attend?

Join an exclusive group of 30-40 Extended Workforce Leaders including Procurement, Talent Acquisition Leaders and Highly Vetted Sponsors as you collaborate on best practices in a safe and luxurious indoor/outdoor venue. ENTERPRISE ROUNDTABLE @ THE RITZ offers real-time market intelligence & insights for Outsourced and Internal Extended Workforce Programs. The following Enterprise Leaders may join:

Indirect Procurement

Talent Acquisition

Program Operations

How is this event different from a virtual event?

While virtual events are easy and efficient, assembling in a safe and secure environment creates the necessary space to deepen relationships and expand thinking… creating trust and uncovering new ways of working.  (Being at The Ritz-Carlton, overlooking the Pacific Ocean doesn’t hurt, either.)

In-person and ad-hoc

The best conversations are unplanned and spontaneous. "Bump into" your next peer mentor and solution innovator.

Interactive Sessions

Lectures be gone! Dive deep during roundtables with Procurement and TA peers plus vetted, innovative provider sponsors.

Cocktails & Dinner

Experience a networking event like no other overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton.

FREE Tickets Available

We have a limited supply of free tickets. Act now and secure your seat today.

Discounted Rooms

Rooms at The Ritz-Carlton are typically $1,500 per night. Enjoy steep room block discounts (while supplies last for Enterprise ONLY)

Exclusive

Comfortable ratios of Buyers to Sponsors. No extra tickets sold. All sponsors vetted and coached prior to event to ensure high value add content

3:15 roundtable dialogues ROUND 2

The Evolution of VMS "Securing your buyers and backers"

VMS systems have evolved from primarily being a tool to capture and manage spend - to currently being developed into robust analytic, management and talent curation tools that can be leveraged to great strategic advantage. This roundtable dialogue will be a frank and open discussion amongst current Procurement & Talent Acquisition leaders as to what are the key drivers and outcomes the industry should be looking for from their VMS tools and partnerships. Implementing technological changes requires leaders to "secure their buyers and backers" of the program. Included in this topic is how key stakeholders are influenced to support and drive Extended Workforce Initiatives. Wesley Beck, Global Head of External Workforce, Block and Cristina De La Cruz Raser, VP of Sales, Ursus

Earning a Seat at the “Strategic Table”

Building a large-scale program that employs “Total Talent Management” requires a CW leader to have a seat at the “Strategic Table”. Otherwise your program will be reactive instead of proactive. Learn what Enterprise leaders do now and have done to build credibility and program awareness at the strategic level including influencing the C-suite..

The Communications Decency Act or “CDA”, 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1), states, “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” Because the information supplied to this list is authored by users of VMS Accelerator’s, Inc. site, we cannot be legally regarded as the “publisher or speaker” of that information. The same law applies to sites like Facebook or GlassDoor – users who post information on these sites are responsible for what they write, but the operators of the sites are not. This is also consistent with our website Terms of Use.

The reasons for this law are to protect free speech and to encourage the availability of information on the Internet. See generally Batzel v. Smith, 333 F.3d 1018, 1027-28 (9th Cir. 2003) (recognizing, “Making interactive computer services and their users liable for the speech of third parties would severely restrict the information available on the Internet.”). See also Caraccioli v. Facebook, Inc., 167 F. Supp.3d 1056, 1065 (N.D. Cal. 2016) (purpose of CDA immunity is “to spare interactive computer service providers the ‘grim choice’ of becoming fully responsible for third-party content” by permitting them some ability to edit third-party content without also becoming liable for all defamatory or otherwise unlawful messages that they do not edit or delete.) We cannot possibly monitor the accuracy of the huge volume of information we are receiving for this list. If interactive websites were liable for information that the site did not create, this would restrict free speech, as fewer and fewer sites would be willing to permit users to post anything at all.
