"The HR Forum is the only event I go back to year after year. It has the right combination of networking, learning seminars, and vendor meetings – all with no distractions. It’s focused. You immerse yourself here for three days, and you invariably walk away with two or three really important things to help you and your business."

"You can find out what's world-class. You can talk to other executives who say 'I'm using solution X or Y.' You can follow up immediately with the people who sell that tool. Then, you can immediately come back to your colleagues, and ask, 'What do you think? What's been your experience?'"

“It’s a great use of a short period of time. You can cover a lot of ground -- even on very technical and esoteric issues... Five years ago, we came primarily for information gathering. Now, we’re increasingly engaging vendors we meet at the Forum.”

Without a doubt this is the best use of an HR leader's time and energy. Where else can you have targeted, open and honest discussions with vendors and colleagues about the challenges you are facing and the potential changes to the HR discipline.
