This year at Staffing World^®, the ASA annual convention and expo, ASA is introducing an exciting new event: Staffing’s Got Talent, powered by RefAssured. This competition is your chance to step into the spotlight and share your musical talents with the staffing community—whether you’re a singer, guitarist, pianist, or any other kind of performer.

This isn’t just another competition—it’s a chance for the industry to come together; have some fun; and showcase people’s amazing, and often hidden, talents. And it’s an opportunity for you to share a different side of yourself with colleagues.

• Showcase your talent: Record a one-minute video of yourself performing a song of your choice—either singing or playing an instrument.
• Submit your application: Complete the application form, and attach your performance video, by Sept. 6.
• Compete: The top submissions will be notified by early October and invited to compete live at Staffing World Oct. 22–23.
• Win: One performer will receive a $500 prize and a free registration to Staffing World 2025.
