HR Tech Conference 2014

The World’s Biggest and Best Conference on HR technology  

Don’t be fooled by our name. HR Technology® focuses on the business process and organizational success enabled by technology, not the bits and bytes of it.

HR Technology® covers all the latest trends – SaaS, The Cloud, social, mobile, analytics, video, gamification, Big Data and MOOCs – as well as the more traditional technologies and processes that still compete for your attention. Whatever is changing the way work and HR gets done is what is featured. All sessions are created and delivered by senior executives from many leading organizations - no speaking slots are sold – resulting in a high-caliber learning experience with real-world lessons and practical takeaways.

What’s more, HR Technology® is home to the world’s largest Expo of HR technology products and services – many vendors even choose to announce their latest products for the first time at HR Tech. There is no better place to touch, compare and contrast the latest solutions from leading vendors in every category, as well as start-ups.

Each year we attract all the foremost industry experts, thought leaders from the major and emerging HR consultancies, every important software vendor, senior HR executives, HR Generalists, HR Systems leaders and more.
"HR Tech is a 'must attend' conference for HR and technology professionals. It is the one place that allows me to stay current not only with changes in Human Resources practice but also the technology to support HR efforts and improve processes. The high-level attendance allows for networking and idea sharing with peers that is absolutely invaluable. I highly recommend HR Tech."
Hermes Mendez, Senior Director of HR, Orange County Public Schools
"I'm a big fan of HR Tech because it provides a vendor neutral venue where I can seek out the products and solutions that meet my interests. Plus, the general sessions and breakouts are always relevant and aligned with my current interests."
Robert Attanasio, VP HR Info Services, L'Oreal USA
