The first Global Labor Market Conference (GLMC) is set to happen in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 13th and 14th. This conference aims to gather professionals from the labor market industry, providing a platform for discussing the challenges that the global labor market faces while seeking input from a network of experts.

The GLMC is a unique gathering of labor market leaders.

In a statement, the GLMC said, “The GLMC is unique in that it will assemble a truly comprehensive global cross-section of all labor market stakeholders, including government officials, policymakers, representatives of multinational organizations, labor leaders, academics, artificial intelligence experts, business leaders, and more.”

The conference’s focus will be global in scope, providing opportunities to discuss and seek solutions for future uncertainty in the worldwide labor market. Conversations across disciplines, industries, and professions will drive problem-solving and provide clarity that is often lacking in less comprehensive gatherings.

The GLMC is a solution-oriented platform designed to encounter the kind of global projects that require the joint efforts and input of all labor market shareholders. The topics discussed will include the impacts of AI, changing demographics, inclusivity in workplace culture, trends in migration, upskilling workers, addressing talent gaps and retaining talent, and the shifting expectations of workers, as well as debate regulations and climate change. GLMC’s line-up of speakers includes ILO Secretary General Gilbert Houngbo, NEOM CEO Nadhmi Al-Nasr, former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, Greek Minister of Labor Adonis Georgiadis, and Saudi Minister of Tourism Ahmed bin Aqil Al-Khateeb.

The GLMC can create new discussions.

As the first and only platform to host such a wide collection of labor market leaders, the GLMC is a rare opportunity to seek solutions for some of the most daunting emergent situations worldwide. The gravity of the issues facing the labor market calls for such a gathering at this time. Many of the labor market’s fundamental features require the skills and input of stakeholders who might not otherwise encounter one another, but with the GLMC hosting these varied perspectives, new discussions can begin. Participants will have access to experts in the quickly developing trends, policies, cultures, standards, and programs that will determine the future of the global labor market.

The conference is expected to have more than 120 speakers and more than two thousand participants, representing a major new event that will have a long-standing impact on this global market. The expertise shared, and the connections made at the GLMC can refine the ideas that now move the market and can become the ideas that define the markets in the future.

Tackling themes such as “Global Labor Market Catalysts,” “Work for All,” and “The Future-Proofed Organization,” the GLMC will be a site for discussion of the most important global trends in the worldwide labor market. Set to take place at the King Abdul Aziz International Conference Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on December 13th and 14th, the GLMC is still open to new registrants who wish to attend.
