Events

The Cercle Magellan ensures that each event - regardless of its format - is a success.

To do so it works on topics chosen based on current events and members’ needs and strives to find high quality speakers and testimonials.

Topics on offer are always those chosen by member companies. Each year, members are invited to take a survey on the topics to be covered the following year.

Over 10 events are therefore organized each year in a range of formats:

Annual conference

The club’s stand-out event of the year, intended for the function’s managers and directors, the annual conference takes place over 2 days at a venue perfect for exchanging ideas (meals and overnight stay included): forward-thinking and HR strategy are the underlying theme of this meeting.

Plenary meeting

The plenary meeting is an opportunity to discuss and work on technical and topical subjects. This meeting includes a cocktail reception and seated lunch as well as a meeting with Cercle Magellan accredited service providers.

Meetings

Several events each year go in-depth on international talent management topics with presentations from experts and member companies who share their experience.

Country focus day

Each year, the Cercle Magellan spends a day examining challenges and HR practice in a single country. This meeting is an opportunity for all Cercle Magellan members, from all clubs, to get together. A range of HR professionals and experts are invited to exchange with participants on cultural aspects, compensation and benefits trends, issues surrounding international mobility to and from the country, and talent management issues there.

A great opportunity to initiate dialogue and synergies between different departments of HR!

Exchange of practices

These half-day sessions are organized ad-hoc to cover topical subjects or regulatory changes either in-person or remotely. Member companies can exchange data and policies confidentially. Only participants receive any documents resulting from these meetings.

After-work drinks

An event allowing all Cercle Magellan members from all clubs to get together for a relaxed cocktail reception!
