Have you heard it yet? If not, here it is: We’re going to UNLEASH America 2023! Yes, this marks the second year in a row Nestor’s team will participate in one of the largest HR conferences in the world. And we couldn’t be more excited!

This year’s edition will take place on 26-27 April, and while the main location — Las Vegas — hasn’t changed, the place hosting the event has.

UNLEASH America will move to CAESARS FORUM, an exciting new venue, capable of welcoming over 10,000 guests and providing all the necessary facilities for a one-of-a-kind event.

Since 2011, UNLEASH conferences have become the global destination and industry standard for Human Resources, Learning, and Recruitment. The events highlight tech, people, and ideas that are shaping the future of work. And these are only some of the reasons for you to be there!

How to make the most out of UNLEASH America 2023

To fully enjoy the International Festival of HR, there are some things you should know and do beforehand:
