Conference Calendar

The SHRM Annual Conference, which takes place this week in San Diego, marks the unofficial start of HR and recruitment conference season.

Other upcoming events include HR Technology Conference & Expo, Sept. 29-Oct. 1, in Chicago, and ERE Expo, Oct. 26-28, in Hollywood, Fla.

And of course there is Onrec Expo, Sept. 15-16, in Chicago, which features a pre-conference Retention Workshop presented by Richard Finnegan, founder of The Retention Institute.

Last year, Onrec Expo acquired Kennedy Information's Recruiting Conference and RecruitingTrends.com, effectively creating the largest recruitment conference of the year. And this year promises to be even bigger. The Onrec Expo exhibit hall is already sold out.

Recruitment and retention. This year's conferences feature sessions that address both—and both will surely be top of mind as companies shift as from recession to recovery.
