HR Florida State Conference
We are proud to have our entire team attending this year’s HR Florida State Conference & Expo in Orlando, Florida. We will be attending with over 30 fellow members of our local Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Chapter, Big Bend SHRM.
Like in past years, we are amazed at the work the conference team has done to put on this huge event that attracts over 1,000 HR professionals from across the state of Florida and even a few internationally. It starts with a fantastic group of pre-conference sessions on Sunday and then opens on Monday with a keynote by Christine Dumas, a lifestyle, consumer health and fitness reporter, and author. On Tuesday and Wednesday we will be listening intently as the Honorable Alexis Herman and Edward James Olmos present their keynote speeches. The concurrent session schedule over the 3 day event provides ample opportunity for top notch training and continuing education credits from the HR Certification Institute.
A bunch of other great conference events will be taking place while we are in Orlando, including a TweetUp organized by Mike VanDervort from Human Race Horses. For example, we are very excited to attend the HR blogger panel, “Blogging & HR: Can the two peacefully coexist?” facilitated by Florida’s very own HR Bartender, Sharlyn Lauby. The panel will include some of our favorite HR bloggers including Kris Dunn from The HR Capitalist, Jessica Lee from Fistful of Talent, Michael Long from The Red Recruiter, Laurie Ruettimann from Punkrock HR, and Mike VanDervort as previously mentioned.
Stay tuned as we hope to get some live blogging and tweets out as regularly as possible throughout the conference. Just look for the #SHRMFL hashtag when on Twitter. Off to get our learn on!
