Years after I took part in (and in my usual subtle way took over) their Analyst Panel, the HR Technology Conference has become the world’s leading event for everyone interested in that business and market. About 2,400 high-level HR practitioners (a third VP or above), software and service vendor CEOs, and all the industry analysts (including former colleague and now Gartner analyst, Jim Holincheck for nine years and fellow EI, Jason Corsello for four) attend from a dozen different countries. They come for the excellent no-sales-hype conference sessions, the largest show floor of 250 exhibitors, and what is indisputably the annual town meeting of this industry.
I asked my old friend, conference co-chair Bill Kutik, to extend a special discount to the 11th annual in Chicago, October 15-17, to readers of this blog. He agreed, and here’s how you can get it: Download the brochure or check out their program at www.HRTechnologyConference.com . If you want to register, type VINN in the Promotion Code box in the online form, and you’ll get $470 off the $1,545 regular registration rate. That discount is larger than any publicly offered, in print or online, and gets relatively bigger when the normal discount expires on August 1.
See you there...I will be on the lookout for disruptive HR vendors for this blog and HR innovations for the New Florence one.
No, no panel for me. Bill does not need any more hijacked panels...besides I would not want to be on some old-fashioned Analyst Panel, When Bill renames it the Social Influencer Hypervisor 2.0 Mashup Panel. I will seek out my rightful place on it :)
