Today I, along with about 50 smart, talented, and fantastic HR folks will descend on Louisville, KY for the first ever HRevolution. 
The HRevolution is the original and only 'Unconference' for HR professionals focused on blogging, social media, technology, and a little topic called 'The Future of HR'.
The event is a classic and wonderful example of a community coming together to share, learn, and try and make ourselves and the HR profession better.
But communities have to have something to rally around, and they often need leaders that can motivate and inspire people.
And in the case of HRevolution those leaders are Trish McFarlane and Ben Eubanks. Trish and Ben have created a concept and an incredible community has rallied around their idea. They, along with Crystal Peterson whose tireless efforts in organizing the logistics of the event, have engineered what has really become a kind of phenomenon.
Creating an event, working it into what is already a crowded fall conference and event schedule, and having it connect and resonate with so many people is really a testament to the community, and to the Trish, Ben, and Crystal's efforts. I have been honored to be a (small) part of the planning for this event.
For folks who can't make it down to the HRevolution, there will be a lively Twitter stream under the #HRevolution tag and special Episode of the HR Happy Hour Show, 'Live from the HRevolution' on Saturday, November 7 at Noon EST.
Special thanks also to HRevolution sponsors:
They have been generous with not only financial support, but advice and ideas to help make the event really meaningful and special.
I can't wait to get to Louisville (even if it means a ridiculous 5:00 am drive to the airport).
