    Taking place at the Crown Conference Centre in Melbourne from Wednesday 30th October to Friday 1st November 2024, the 36th Annual AAGE Graduate Recruitment and Development Conference will bring together recruitment and development practitioners from around Australia, offering professional and personal development through keynotes, workshops, interactive discussion forums and networking opportunities.

    You can hear insights from other graduate employers and industry leaders, learn about the latest innovations at the conference expo and celebrate best practice at the AAGE Graduate Recruitment Industry Awards (AGRIAs), held during the black tie AAGE Gala Dinner on Day 2 of the conference.
