QUICK LINKS
About the Talent Acquisition Summit
The inaugural ASHHRA Talent Acquisition Summit builds on the success of the Healthcare Executive Summit, which brought together a select group of healthcare HR leaders in Savannah, Georgia. That event fostered deep conversations around human resources trends, strategies, and solutions, all within an intimate setting that encouraged meaningful networking and collaboration.
Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback and high engagement from participants, ASHHRA is expanding the experience by hosting the only event dedicated to healthcare talent acquisition.
The Talent Acquisition Summit is invitation-only, with a limited number of participants to ensure rich dialogue and strong peer connections. Interested professionals are encouraged to complete an application to be considered for an invitation.
