Depth, Not Volume.
Connection, Not Noise.
The modern TA leader operates at a strategic, C-suite level, yet existing industry events often fail to provide the necessary focus or quality of engagement to match this seniority.
We created the RLX to solve this disconnect. By eliminating random encounters and providing predictable, high-intent engagement, we allow you to move directly from introduction to partnership conversation.
This is not a traditional conference. There are no exhibition halls, no badge scanning, and no "hope for the best" networking.
Instead, we curate a specific environment where trust can be built. Every element, from the venue to the dining, is designed to elevate the conversation and foster genuine peer-to-peer relationships.
Not a Traditional
Conference
The Resourcing Leaders Exchange (RLX) is designed as an invite-only, hosted-buyer leadership experience. Its purpose is to bring senior talent acquisition leaders and carefully selected solution providers together in a high-value, curated environment.
The event blends business-critical engagement with premium experiential elements, building on the trust, credibility, and relationships our brands have already established.
"Attendees are pre-qualified based on budget, active buying cycles, solution interest areas, and organisational context, ensuring every interaction has tangible commercial value."
The Grove,
Hertfordshire
Set in 300 acres of rolling countryside, The Grove is the ultimate five-star retreat. Just 18 miles from central London, it offers a sanctuary where clarity of thought and meaningful connection come naturally.
We have selected this venue specifically to remove you from the day-to-day noise, providing a luxury environment that honors the seniority of our guests and the importance of the conversations taking place.
"A physical setting critical to reinforcing the premium nature of RLX."

Event Format & Experience
RLX is designed to feel five-star from start to finish. The format mixes structured and informal touchpoints that maximise value for both delegates and partners.
30-minute hosted buyer meetings between sponsors and pre-qualified leaders. Each meeting is backed by a comprehensive profile outlining organisational challenges, budget cycle, solution priorities, and purchasing intent.
Facilitated, small-group sessions (4-5 leaders) focused on key challenges or solution deep dives. These 60-minute sessions allow for solution discovery and positioning your brand as a strategic thought partner.
Hour-long premium activities (e.g., wine tasting, culinary classes, mixology) designed to deepen relationships in an informal setting. These relationship-led activities elevate sponsor perception in a relaxed environment.
Curated Experiences
We believe that the strongest business relationships are formed when people can connect as individuals, not just job titles.
RLX integrates premium experiential sessions—from culinary classes to wellness activities—designed to deepen rapport in a relaxed, informal setting. These moments build the authentic trust necessary for closing large enterprise deals.
Culinary Classes
