The MERIT Summit is a learning showcase, an ideas conference, and a hands-on strategy session with experts and peers, enabling participants to develop a culture of learning, innovation, and growth in their organisations.
This year, two conferences under one roof will provide corporate HR/L&D and Executive Education leaders with dedicated content on the topics shaping the future of organisations and executive education.
