Riyadh is preparing to launch the second edition of the Global Labour Market Conference (GLMC), 2025 on January 29th and 30th to keep pace with the latest practices and policies in international labour markets.

The Global Labour Market Conference (GLMC), 2025 is a global platform that brings together decision-makers, sector leaders, and experts to discuss labour market challenges, support learning and development, and encourage initiatives that empower employees and employers. It also discusses policies and strategies to enhance performance in international labour markets. Moreover, the Global Labour Market Conference (GLMC) aims to unite all stakeholders in labour markets, including government policymakers, private sector representatives, international organisations, academics, and entrepreneurs, to develop and improve labour markets' prosperity. Plus, the (GLMC) conference promotes global discussions on labour market trends, market conditions, opportunities, and future projects using analysis, research, and thought leadership tools. Notably, the first artificial intelligence-powered chatbot, Rayan, had its debut during the conference. It uses a language model with 10 billion standard elements. It was first created to identify trends in the labour market and trained on one trillion data points collected globally. Besides, Ryan offers comprehensive data on international labour markets to individuals, companies, and policymakers worldwide, providing valuable insights and support.
