Talent Acquisition leaders, employer branding experts, sourcing professionals, and HR technology innovators will gather November 9-11 for RIS Fall 2026
SAN DIEGO, CA, UNITED STATES, June 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ERE Media today announced that the ERE Recruiting Innovation Summit (RIS) will take place November 9-11, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine in San Diego, California.
The announcement follows a successful RIS in Atlanta, where hundreds of talent acquisition leaders, sourcing professionals, employer branding experts, talent acquisition executives, and HR technology innovators gathered to discuss the future of hiring, employer branding, recruiting operations, artificial intelligence, and workforce strategy.
For more than two decades, ERE events have brought together the practitioners shaping the future of recruiting. RIS has earned a reputation as one of the industry’s premier practitioner-led events, known for candid conversations, real-world case studies, collaborative learning, and meaningful networking opportunities.
“RIS has always been about bringing together actual practitioners who know what it takes to fill a role,” said David Manaster, CEO of ERE Media. “Recruiting is changing faster than ever. Organizations are navigating AI, shifting workforce expectations, new technologies, and increased pressure to deliver. Our community wants honest conversations, practical ideas, and opportunities to learn from leaders who are solving these challenges every day.”
Why Recruiting Leaders Keep Coming Back to RIS
The recent Atlanta event generated enthusiastic feedback from attendees and speakers alike.
"Recruiters and TA leaders might be some of the most naturally curious people on the planet. Being in rooms like this reminds me why I love what I do," said Jay Olson, Director, Global Talent Acquisition, Medtronic.
"People actually doing the work. Comparing what’s working, what's not, and where things are starting to shift across employer brand, recruitment marketing, and people communications. No posturing, just honest conversation and learning from each other," said Bryan Chaney, Founder of People Brand Collective.
The Atlanta event also sparked important conversations around AI governance, employer branding, recruiting operations, frontline hiring, sourcing strategy, accessibility, candidate experience, and the evolving role of human decision-making in talent acquisition.
Those discussions will continue this November in San Diego.
