SHRM is known for producing some of the most informative and engaging conferences in the world, and the SHRM Annual Conference & Exposition is an annual favorite for so many HR professionals. Thousands of attendees will travel to New Orleans, LA, for the conference and exposition, June 18-21. Each of them will bring their own unique “All In” story- a time that changed their professional and personal lives. SHRM is working hard to help share and create these All In moments! And—as always—the SHRM Blog Squad is sure to be a huge part of the experience.
We are honored to officially announce the #SHRM17 bloggers, all of whom truly represent this year’s conference theme of All In. These highly talented HR professionals are not just "social influencers" who can reach a huge global audience- they are professionals with a passion for people and solving challenges..IRL (In Real Life). HR practitioners, consultants, educators and business owners- the #SHRM17 bloggers will be heavily engaged with attendees from start to finish- while virtually connecting to millions of HR pros around the world! From the Social Solutions preconference seminar, to sessions on the Smart Stage, to interactive pop-up sessions that will be selected through onsite attendee polls – the bloggers will lead interactive sessions focused on bringing real-world, real-time solutions to challenges- in the workplace and beyond!
While my title is Director of Social Engagement I want our efforts to be both online and onsite. Whether you're attending the conference in person, or watching all the action via social media, you’ll want to keep up with this amazing group of HR professionals starting now and continuing well beyond June’s activities in New Orleans. We are honored to host this powerful group of #SHRM17 bloggers and cannot wait to connect them with all of you- online and IRL at #SHRM17!
