This year, the conference will be hosted live at the Revere Hotel in Boston, from June 19-21. Sponsors include Cornerstone OnDemand, Glassdoor and Proactive Talent, and the speaker lineup features the host of a hit Netflix series, a globally recognized author and talent acquisition leaders from Delta Air Lines, CVS, Sprint, The Washington Post and more.

SmashFly CEO Thom Kenney commented, “Transform is more than an event — it’s a movement. And over the last four years, it’s grown into a community of over 10,000 talent acquisition pros from around the world. We’re incredibly excited to bring people together face-to-face and deliver an agenda packed with some of the brightest people in our industry. The community asked, we listened and we’re excited to show off this year’s program and the work we do together.”

On stage at Transform 2019 will be the four-time emcee, Tim Sackett, President of HRU Technical Resources, with keynote presentations from Kenney; Leon Logothetis, a global adventurer, author and creator of Netflix series, “The Kindness Diaries;” and Erik Qualman, the best-selling author of “Socialnomics” and renowned futurist.

Additional speakers include Torin Ellis, Diversity and Inclusion Strategist and host of SiriusXM’s CareerMix; Austin Graff, Talent Marketing & Branding Specialist at The Washington Post; Shondee Coker, Talent Strategist at Sprint; Shahbaz Ali, Senior Director and Head of Global HR Operations, Talent Acquisition, HRIS and Workforce Analytics at Esterline Technologies; and Holland McCue, Head of Employer Branding & Recruitment Marketing Programs at Delta Air Lines.

Session tracks intend to cover a wide range of key topics, including recruiter enablement, diversity and inclusion, data-driven talent acquisition strategy, A.I. and machine learning, candidate experience, digital transformation, recruitment marketing frameworks and more. Cornerstone OnDemand, Glassdoor and Proactive Talent will be sponsoring the event. More details and the full agenda are forthcoming.

Sackett shared, “Having supported Transform from the very beginning, it’s amazing to see how the conference evolved and with it, the recruitment marketing and talent acquisition spaces. I’m excited to be back in person and on stage and look forward to seeing what this year’s event has in store. Get psyched.”

The live event is all-access and expected to sell out with only 250 spots available. The live stream option provides access to the conference’s mainstage content and is anticipated to draw more than 5000 attendees across six continents.
