Talent Smash lands in Oslo this fall.
The way we hire is changing—fast. With 73% of organizations now using AI in their recruitment processes and skills overtaking degrees as the new standard, the companies who fail to adapt will quickly fall behind. In 2025, talent moves differently. It’s more global, more values-driven, and more selective than ever before.
Talent Smash returns to Epicenter Oslo with a new edge. This time, we’re taking it to the Verge.
Verge is Epicenter’s flagship event series, known for breaking silos and sparking conversations that matter. After sold-out editions in Helsinki, Verge now arrives in Oslo for the first time—bringing with it a reimagined Talent Smash that pushes beyond best practices and into bold innovation.
This event is designed for anyone involved in hiring, growing, and developing teams. Whether you’re a talent acquisition leader, employer brand strategist, startup founder, or business executive, this is where you’ll gain the insight to stay ahead.
You’ll dive into four core content tracks:
• AI’s Role in Talent Acquisition
• Skills Over Degrees: Redefining Hiring Standards
• DEI as a Performance Driver
• Building a Magnetic Employer Brand
The day includes inspiring keynotes, candid panel conversations, and hands-on workshops—all aimed at helping you make smarter, fairer, and more effective hiring decisions. We’ll explore what’s working, what’s failing, and what’s next.
To close the day, join us for a high-energy networking experience with drinks, snacks, and Oslo’s most forward-thinking leaders in talent, business, and technology.
Verge is where talent meets transformation. And for the first time in Oslo, it’s where we smash the old rules—together.
