The Big Biller Summit is a collection of tele-seminars which have been organised by Mark Whitby. It's like a recruiting conference, in that he has got 20 industry experts sharing their knowledge and experience, which you attend from your desk.
Like a normal seminar the sessions are scheduled to take place at specific times (over the next week) and like a normal seminar you need to sign up to "attend". However, you participate by listening to the sessions via the phone or the webcast (I'd recommend you use headphones if you are going for this option in an open plan office!).
Speakers include some well known names from the UK, USA and Australia. Some of the UK speakers include Ann Swain, Romney Rawes, Bill Boorman, Mike Walmsley and Roy Ripper. Nearly all 20 of the speakers are people who I've come across at some point over the past 10 years and all speakers I'd be interested in learning from.
The key to this is that to hear what they say you need to sign up in advance and take part in the calls. They are scheduled for the US (as over 50% of the audience comes from the states) but all take place at a fairly reasonable time for UK recruiters (ie, before bedtime!).
If you miss a session they are recorded... but you will need to upgrade to a VIP ticket (which costs $197). For this you get the MP3 recordings and complete written transcripts for every training session. This actually sounds like very good value if I'm honest.
If you have any available time next week - and want to improve your recruitment skills I'd suggest you sign up (it is free!).
