The AAGE Conference is ideal for those involved with graduate recruitment and development, including human resources professionals, university careers advisors, service providers and professional associations with graduate programs.

AAGE Conferences bring delegates together 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 ideas and solutions 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.

Plenty of networking opportunities are offered to delegates, including discussion groups held during the course of the day sessions, a Social Evening held on the first night of the conference and our annual black tie Gala Dinner held on the second night of the conference which celebrates the AAGE Graduate Recruitment Industry Awards (AGRIAs).

Employer delegates also have the opportunity to attend an optional Pre-Conference Leader or Practitioner Seminar for $50 + GST, to be held concurrently on Wednesday 22nd October at 9.00am. The Practitioner session is for those new to the industry (0-2 years' experience) and the Leader session is for those responsible for managing strategic direction (2+ years' experience).

2025 marks the 37th year that the AAGE has hosted a Graduate Recruitment and Development Conference in Australia.
