IRC Global Conference goes virtual in 2020
IRC Global Executive Search Partners, the world's largest executive search alliance, adapted to the current challenges, hosting a record number of attendees at its recent online annual Global Conference.

More than 100 partners representing 40+ countries met together on September 15th and 17th. They discussed the latest developments in the executive search industry and shared their experience and success stories. At the end of each conference day, participants had the opportunity to listen to an insightful keynote speech.

The first conference day was concluded by Ken Vancini, CEO & Founder of Innova International, who delivered a speech on "Executive Search in a New Era". He talked about changes in the marketplace in the past few months and more importantly, the future of executive search business. He expects executive search firms to further diversify their offerings with additional services playing a more significant role. "The idea that I'm seeing with firms that are successful and thriving today is a move from transactional relationships to more of a holistic approach to overall workings with that client," shared Ken.

The next conference day was closed by Fredrik Haren, Creativity Explorer, with his inspirational speech he named "Grow Again" – the meaning of "recruit" in Latin. He explained why it is important to perceive crucial changes and to adapt to them. It can, however, be difficult to push yourself to make the changes needed. It is often an unrelated change that will disrupt your industry the most, not necessarily easy to predict.

"It was fantastic to see all our members together – even if it was just on a computer screen! IRC has made great progress this year, delivering outstanding services and supported by high calibre members across the globe. We look forward to working together again in the coming year," adds Rohan Carr, President of the IRC Executive Board.
