What to Expect
We’re gearing up for one of our favorite events of the year—Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) Executive Forum North America, taking place March 10-13, 2025, at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, FL. As longtime sponsors and active participants in this conference, we can confidently say that if you’re a staffing firm leader, this is one event you can’t afford to miss.
From thought-provoking keynotes to insight-packed sessions, Executive Forum consistently delivers actionable takeaways that help staffing firms navigate a rapidly evolving industry. Whether you’re looking to expand your firm, adapt to economic shifts, explore new funding solutions, or stay ahead of trends in technology, this is where the industry’s top minds come together to share insights, strategies, and innovations.
Why Executive Forum Is a Must-Attend for Staffing Leaders
Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) curates an agenda each year that speaks directly to the challenges and opportunities facing staffing leaders. It’s not just another industry event—it’s an exclusive gathering of CEOs, founders, and executives from staffing firms of all sizes and specialties.
Here’s What We’re Looking Forward to This Year:
Barry Asin’s Keynote: “What’s Next? Answers to Your Burning Questions about the Future of Staffing”
One of the biggest highlights every year is the opening keynote by Barry Asin, President of SIA. If you’ve ever attended his keynotes, you know he brings data-driven insights, deep industry expertise, and a forward-looking perspective on where staffing is headed.
This year, Barry will tackle the biggest questions on every staffing leader’s mind, covering:
- How economic shifts are impacting staffing demand
- The long-term trajectory of the staffing industry
- How staffing firms can adapt to labor market fluctuations
- The impact of automation, AI, and workforce trends on staffing firm operations
Given the turbulence of the past few years—with GDP growth slowing, staffing revenue declining by 14%, and evolving workforce dynamics—Barry’s insights will be critical for firms looking to stay ahead of the curve.
Session Spotlight: “Economic Forecast—The Impact of Seismic Surprises on the Economy and the Labor Market”
The economy has been full of surprises over the past few years. Staffing firms have faced volatile hiring trends, shifting talent pools, and unpredictable market demand. That’s why we’re especially excited for this session, which will provide:
- An analysis of recent economic shifts and what they mean for staffing firms
- Insights into how employers are responding to hiring slowdowns
- Projections for contingent labor demand in 2025 and beyond
For firms trying to scale strategically while navigating an unpredictable economy, this session is a must-attend.
Industry Trends We’re Watching at Executive Forum
The staffing industry never stands still, and staying ahead requires constant adaptation. Here are some of the key trends we’ll be paying close attention to at the forum:
Staffing Industry Revenue Decline: What’s Next?
SIA recently reported that staffing revenue declined by 14% over the past year. While GDP growth remains positive, we’re seeing slower hiring activity, longer sales cycles, and more conservative spending from employers. Executive Forum is the perfect place to hear from experts about how staffing firms can stay competitive and grow in this climate.
AI & Automation in Staffing
The adoption of AI in staffing is accelerating. From AI-driven candidate sourcing and matching to automated onboarding and compliance, staffing firms are leveraging new technology to drive efficiency. We expect plenty of discussion around:
- How AI is reshaping recruitment and talent acquisition
- The future of automation in workforce solutions
- Balancing high-tech with high-touch staffing models
The Future of Remote & Hybrid Workforces
How staffing firms source, place, and retain talent has shifted dramatically. With remote and hybrid work here to stay, many companies are rethinking how they engage talent, structure job placements, and adjust compensation models. Expect key sessions discussing:
- How hybrid work is reshaping workforce planning
- Best practices for staffing firms placing remote talent
- The legal and compliance challenges of multi-state workforce management
Growth Strategies for Staffing Firms in 2025
Despite economic uncertainty, staffing firms that innovate and adapt will continue to thrive. Some of the growth-focused conversations we anticipate include:
- Mergers & acquisitions (M&A) trends in staffing
- Expanding service lines & entering new verticals
- How firms can optimize their financial strategy for growth
