Some HR Technology Conference Updates - #HRTechConf

Because you are not ever going to get enough HR Technology Conference news and updates in the next two weeks, here are a few items that I wanted to call to your attention, whether or not you are able to attend the Conference next week from October 7 - 10. (Aside, there is still time to attend!

First off, a couple of weeks back the Conference announced the first-ever slate of 'Awesome New Startups for HR' that will be presenting and demonstrating their innovative solutions at the Conference next Friday, October 10. My latest column for Human Resource Executive features more information about these technologies that if you are coming to the Conference or not, you definitely want to learn more about.  

Next, in addition to the 'Awesome New Startups' session, the Conference will showcase the latest innovations from six more established HR technology solutions providers, (Ultimate Software, Cornerstone OnDemand, Workday, Castlight Health, Dice, and HireVue), in our 'Awesome New Technologies for HR' session on Thursday, October 9. 

And, the editors of Human Resource Executive just released the names of their choices for the coveted 'Top Products of 2014' who will receive their awards at a luncheon at the HR Technology Conference on Wednesday October 8. 

I have appeared on just about every HR/workplace related podcast in the last couple of months to promote the Conference, but of course my favorite one, and really the only one you need to listen to, is mine and Co-host Trish McFarlane's own HR Happy Hour Show, where we previewed the upcoming event. Listen to the replay here, or just grab it from iTunes or your favorite podcast app - just search for 'HR Happy Hour'.

Oh, and one last thing - we have had a few updates and changes to the HR Technology Conference program since it was originally published. So if you are still debating whether or not to make the trip out to what promises to be sunny and warm Las Vegas, please do check out all the program details here and in-depth descriptions of the sessions here.

So, who will I see out at HR Tech next week?
