The AAGE hosts an annual Conference, bringing together employers from around the nation to learn, develop and network together in an energetic and stimulating environment. AAGE Conferences allow delegates to focus on broader issues impacting on the industry, to have the opportunity to learn from industry experts, discover the latest trends and to discuss solutions and methods in which to handle industry challenges. The Conference format encourages the open sharing of knowledge and experience, which serves to elevate the graduate recruitment industry as an increasingly important, strategic part of a business. The annual black tie Gala Dinner incorporates the annual AAGE Graduate Recruitment Industry Awards (AGRIAs) presentation, aimed to reward and recognise excellence in the graduate recruitment industry.

Who Attends?

Traditionally AAGE Conferences attract graduate employers, graduate development managers, recruitment professionals and service providers whose businesses are connected to the graduate recruitment industry. AAGE Conferences are also generally well supported by the university sector including members of the National Association of Graduate Careers Advisory Services (NAGCAS) and the Australian Collaborative Education Network (ACEN). We also usually have a number of international delegates including members of the International Network of Graduate Recruitment and Development Associations (INGRADA).

Over 160 organisations sent 319 delegates to the 2009 AAGE Conference (a list may be downloaded here).
