Photos: Best Moments of Talent Connect 2014, Day 3

Alas, Talent Connect San Francisco has officially come to an end.

Final breakout sessions filled the morning hours of Day 3 at the conference with keynote presentations taking place in the afternoon. The keynotes kicked off with an informative presentation from Jennifer Shappley (Senior Director of Talent Acquisition at Express Scripts) and Melanie Curtis (Vice President of Talent Management at Express Scripts). Next, Mathew Caldwell (Director of Global Talent Acquisition at Mozilla) and Suzanne Myers (Director of Talent Acquisition at RealPage, Inc.) took the stage and provided attendees with even more insights and ideas.

The last hour of the conference was filled with an inspirational speech from the lovely Arianna Huffington (Chair, President and Editor-in-Chief at The Huffington Post Media Group).

Here are the photo highlights from the final day at Talent Connect San Francisco:
