Jade Hollins joined the spring Conference News CN Agency100 lunch at Amazónico in Mayfair, a gathering of senior leaders, agency owners and founders from across the events world, hosted by Mash Media.
There is something quietly valuable about being in a room with people who are operating at the same pace and dealing with the same pressures. Not a conference, not a panel just a working lunch where the conversation flows naturally and the connections feel genuine.
Robert Kenward opened with an insightful presentation on the distinction between recruiters and recruitment consultants, a topic that sits close to home for us, and one that sparked some useful thinking about where the real value in our work lies.
Jade introduced Disrupt Talent and laid out what we actually do: Disrupt Talent, Disrupt Staffing, Disrupt Search, and a recruitment partnership model built to solve the full range of people challenges that events businesses face. No handoffs, no gaps, just one partner across the board. Some good conversations followed, and we are not done with them yet.
Being part of events like these matters to us, not for the visibility, but because staying close to the people actively building the sector makes us better at what we do. The relationships we build in rooms like this directly shape how we connect talent with the right businesses.
Thanks to Robert for the invitation, and to the Mash Media team for putting it together.
