10,000 Attendees Expected for #SHRM09
I've been to several of the annual conferences put on by the Society for Human Resource Management and they've all been huge. Hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of attendees. Did I say huge? This year's show promises to be almost as big as those of the past couple of years but the layoffs and budget cutbacks have hurt SHRM's numbers just like they have virtually every other organization out there. Yet even with those cuts, SHRM still expects 10,000 paid attendees to descend upon the conference in New Orleans. Wow.
CollegeRecruiter.com will be well represented at this year's annual SHRM conference. Paul Bell, Caddy Rowland, Intern Queen Lauren Berger, and I will be manning our booth and wandering the exhibit hall doing the old meet-and-greet. It should be great to reconnect with old friends and clients and hopefully make some new ones.
I'll be delivering a presentation as well. Join me the morning of Wednesday, July 1st for a presentation about the future of on-line recruiting. I'll take you for a short trip down memory lane to what we've done in the past, where we are today, and where I think we'll be going. My presentations tend to be pretty interactive and filled with lots of little jokes and quips. So if you're a fuddy duddy, this ain't the place for you. But if you enjoy having a good laugh while you're doing some edumacatin', then join me!
If you'd like to come but can't afford the price of admission, contact us for a free admission to the SHRM exhibit hall. We have a limited number available and want to make sure they're all spoken for by the time the show starts on Sunday.
