A series of panels have also been organized: the first is "The Needs of the Multinational"; the second is "Regional Differences in Recruiting" and the final panel is "Behind closed doors", which will bring senior executives from both sides of the recruiting community together to discuss the latest burning issues.

In addition, search-consult has arranged a number of optional workshop sessions focusing on topics such as "Best Practices in Search Firm Management and Branding" and "The Insider's Guide to Selecting and Managing Search Firms".
