People Making Perfume

What does building a fragrance from scratch have to do with building a great team? More than you think. At People Making Perfume, hosted by Adam Gellert & Linkus Group, we're bringing together senior leaders from the people and talent community for a hands-on perfume-making experience. While we blend top, heart, and base notes into something entirely our own, we'll explore what it takes to build a team with real depth, character, and staying power. A great fragrance isn't just one note. It's layers. So is a great team. Think about it: Top notes: the interview, the offer, the onboarding. Heart notes: the culture once someone settles in. Base notes: retention, trust, the reasons people stay. Get the balance wrong at any layer, and the whole thing falls apart. For Senior People Leaders, Talent Leaders, and Hiring Operators building durable teams, especially in high-growth environments. Expect: A guided perfume-making experience. Real conversations about hiring and retention. A room full of thoughtful operators. Light food and beverages. No panels. No slides. Just substance. Layering, balance, and time apply to hiring and retention too. The best teams, like the best scents, are never just one thing. Come make perfume. Leave with sharper thinking on hiring. Spots will be limited to keep the room intimate.Please note: if you have fragrance sensitivities, we kindly recommend you don't attend as we will be handling fragrance materials and alcohol-based perfume.Due to limited capacity, a refundable $25 payment is required to reserve your spot.
