The HR Conference Rock Star Lifestyle

Two conferences down last week, more to come in the days and weeks ahead.   The HR conference tour-  It’s a whirlwhind rockstar life if you can afford to pay for it!  (or you have sponsors and friends who are willing to assist you). 

I am lucky to have both, which means I don’t have to lay out my own cold hard cash for most of the events I attend.   There are a few exceptions – shows where I am more than willing to pay my own way, like HREvolution held last week in Atlanta.   I paid my own way to that event because it is a fantastic learning and networking opportunity for HR professionals.  

There is another event very similar in nature to HR Evolution coming up in June.  This one is a little more formal, and has a bias towards discussing business and HR related issues in the service sectors like restaurants, and some others.  You shouldn’t let this get in the way of attending.   

The People Report Summer Camp Workforce Symposium

  I am talking about the People Report Summer Camp Workforce Symposium, put on by Joni Doolin and her ace staff at People Report.   I am not exaggerating when I say this was the best conference I attended in all of 2010, including SHRM National.   It is fun, fast-paced, informal, (how many conferences encourage you to wear shorts?) and they stretch your brain.   I highly recommend it for any HR practitioner.    I will be attending as well as presenting this year.

Here is a link to some of my Summer Camp memories for 2010.   Below, you can check out what you can expect to see at Summer Camp in 2011.

The People Report Workforce Symposium is designed for service sector HR leaders and operators, who recognize that the workforce challenges that we face today are tougher than ever. This truly unique conference is about what you need to know and to be doing NOW, to position yourself and your brand for success in a post-recession “new normal” workplace and marketplace. The best of People Report and Black Box Intelligence research, a phenomenal line-up of speakers and experts, social media, smart workforce technology, supercharged networking, and a whole lot of fun – you don’t want to miss our second annual Summer Camp.
 
This year we double the fun and the learning, and have added Digital Brand Camp, a partnership with DigitalCoCo  to create a truly unique opportunity for HR & Marketers.  It’s time to tear down the silos, and figure out how to work together to build great cultures, brands and companies.  Social media has blurred the boundaries between employer and consumer brands forever, and it has never been more important for us to find ways to build our talent communities and our base of raving customers into one seamless spectacular brand.  Digital Brand Camp offers hot off the web research, social media analytics, digital brand education, experiences and solutions, along with access to the hospitality leaders and trailblazers.
