Talent Leadership in Action

The next chapter: Reimagining workforce composition.

For 80 years, Kelly has helped organizations navigate changes in how people work and how work gets done. Today, another shift is underway as organizations consider an expanding mix of permanent employees, external talent, automation, technology, and digital and physical AI.

At our first Talent Leadership in Action (TLIA) event in Detroit, we’re bringing together leaders to exchange ideas, challenge conventional thinking, and explore what’s next for talent and workforce strategy.

As the ways work can be performed continue to expand, traditional approaches need to evolve with them. Together, we’ll explore how organizations are rethinking workforce composition, and the opportunities and questions emerging as people and technology increasingly operate alongside one another.

Join us to connect with peers, share ideas, and celebrate two important milestones as we mark 10 years of TLIA and 80 years of helping organizations navigate the changing world of work.

  • Dates: Tuesday, October 6
  • Time: 1:30pm - 5:00 pm EDT, followed by a networking reception
  • Location: Michigan Central Station, Detroit

About TLIA.

Talent Leadership in Action (TLIA) is a Kelly event that brings together senior procurement, HR, talent acquisition, and operational leaders from across industries. It provides a space to talk all-things talent, share big ideas, and explore the trends that are changing work. We don’t do stuffy, we don’t do jargon, and we promise to never, ever, do dull. We’re committed to putting the human in talent strategy and creating content and events that challenge expectations. Each event is created around a key topic and powered by our community through interactive sessions.

TLIA is held in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Australia, India, Malaysia, Singapore, and the US.
