#SHRM19 Recap

 

The frenzy that is the 2019 SHRM Annual Conference has ended. The early morning sessions, the content-rich breakouts and the late-night parties have ended. And for all 25,000 attendees, what do we have to show for it?  Lots.

  • Learning – while it may seem cliché, there is much to take from the sessions offered.  Of course, the keynotes get the hype, but it’s often in the mega or breakout sessions that those nuggets of information are unpacked and make the biggest impact.

SHRM19 Recap - Speaking, Blogging and Networking Like an Introvert!

 

Although I have attended SHRM Annual Conferences for many years, this year was a new experience for me - my first time speaking at a SHRM Annual Conference, and my first time blogging for SHRM! As in recent years, I spent more time on the vendor floor than attending sessions, but one of the sessions I did attend made my highlight list. For me, this year at SHRM was all about new friends, new experiences and saying yes to things that I said no to before. Every person’s experience at SHRM...

Viva Las Vegas- A #SHRM19 Recap

 

#SHRM19 was an exciting experience just as I expected. I made note of tips from fellow bloggers, packed my comfy shoes, planned my sessions and my meet-ups, and hopped on the plane. Though not my first conference, I was already anticipating the overwhelming force of 20,0000 global HR professionals ready to take on the world. 

HR Professionals are charged with making a difference at work. We have gone far too long searching for a place to belong in the world of work. We Are Work.

I Survived #SHRM19

 

It’s been a week since #SHRM19 wrapped up, but thanks to social media, I am still reliving all of the special moments through pictures and key takeaways. And thanks to email, I am also reminded of all of the great vendors that were in attendance. In all seriousness though, #SHRM19 was an unbelievable experience for me this year. I had more opportunities to be a part of events and activities than I knew what to do with. By the time it was all said and done with, I realized that I...

One Week Later — #SHRM19 Reflection


 

I mentioned earlier that this was my 4th time attending SHRM National. I can tell you without hesitation that it was by far the BEST SHRM National conference, yet!

Many of my fellow #SHRM19Bloggers have shared their experience at #SHRM19, and I have enjoyed reading each and every post that I have seen so far.

My reflection on #SHRM19 is not just on the content of the sessions, but on the people and the connections. One of the main reasons that I value attending SHRM National is the sheer volume of passionate HR...

What Happens in Vegas at #SHRM19, Doesn’t Stay in Vegas – It Gets Blogged About!

 

“Just hang around people, and good things will happen!” – Steve Browne

So, I am sitting on the airplane back to Chicago following my trip to Las Vegas for the 2019 SHRM National Conference and Exposition when I begin to ruminate on my time. I wasn’t sure what to expect being this year I attended as part of the SHRM Blogger Team. However, I can say without hesitation, #SHRM19 blew away any expectation I had.

I learned. I listened. I conversed. I laughed. I (nearly) cried....
