2025 Agency Success Symposium in NYC

What a day at the 2025 Agency Success Symposium on April 29th in NYC!

A travel through time — starting with today’s challenges, moving boldly into the future of work. 

We opened with a powerful keynote by our CPO Navya Rehani Gupta, who challenged us to think deeply about the tension between innovation and accountability.

The choices we make today will shape what recruitment looks like five years from now — and the future is being built now.”

From there, we moved into our expert panel on The Intersection of AI, Data and Human Expertise, where our panelists — Alpesh Gaglani (CTO at Talent.com), Cindy Klein (EVP Sales & Partnerships at Talent.com), Alexander Chukovski (AI Advisor and Thought Leader in HRtech), and moderator Navya Rehani Gupta (CPO at Talent.com) — tackled what’s next for agencies navigating generative AI, automation, and evolving client and candidate expectations.

💡 Top takeaways:

• Regulations are catching up — compliance is no longer optional.
  
• AI is powerful — but only with clean data, human oversight, and strategy.
• The human element remains essential.
• Strategic advantage lies in creativity.

✨ Breakout sessions stole the show. 

These smaller, focused conversations between our team and client groups were among the most impactful moments of the day. The feedback was incredible — our team walked away energized by many insights of what clients truly need. 

🎤 Keynote: Daniel Rock — Building an AI Talent Transformation Playbook

🍸 And we wrapped the day by time traveling to the Roaring 20's at The Back Room, NYC’s last authentic speakeasy. From stylish outfits to cocktails in teacups, all the memories were captured by our incredible photo booth experience with The Bosco.
