For over a decade, we have used our combined 44 years of personal experience — plus the creative resources of Human Resource Executive^® — to create a conference that helps HR executives like you become tech-savvy and learn how to wrestle the business benefits out of technology. We enjoyed seeing hundreds of familiar faces at the conference this year. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago in 2012.
