This week on TaPod we drop a special episode, getting under the hood of the recent Avature Upfront APAC 2025 in sunny Melbourne at the Royal Botanical Gardens, and it was fantastic! Raman Richards joins us as we unpack the day. From Chloe Dalton with a brilliant keynote, to the road map led by Dimitri Boylan & Xiabin Shi, to Maria Ma from Siemens, the panel of experts including Gareth Flynn, Sue Howse, Alex Thomson and Danielle Kent, Melinda Todd on mastering high-volume recruiting, Mark Condon on skills, AI & Work Design, the art of the possible presented by Evelyn Jackson, Scott Allen, Teejay Bui-Mata’afa and Joshua Vinden and product discussions involving Paula Lizardo and Roman Cunci.
