Conference: September 29 - October 1, 2010
Expo: September 29 - 30, 2010
McCormick Place, Chicago

The 12th Annual HR Technology® Conference & Exposition has ended, and we have remained the largest and best event of our kind in the world. The tweeting has stopped, and the blogging has started. And the education doesn’t end.

If you attended, thank you for making it another great conference. And special thanks to our exhibitors and sponsors.

Just click on the 2009 Program Materials & Attendee List button on the left to read any of our 31 presentations that you missed at the conference or review those you attended.

If you didn’t attend, you can read the observations (and critiques) from a dozen of the bloggers who did and wrote thousands of words reacting to the event and particular sessions. Single-blog posts are available from Gartner Managing VP Jim Holincheck, a 10-year veteran of our Analyst Panel; former Panelist and Aberdeen Analyst Katherine Jones; Mark Bennett; Lance Haun; Trish McFarlane; Jason Weingarten; and Analyst Mark Smith.

Others posted several times: former Meta Group Analyst Ron Hanscome on Day One and Day Two; Mark Stelzner on Day One and a Wrap-Up; Kris Dunn twice in his two blogs: HR Capitalist, here and here; and Fistful of Talent, here and here; Mike Krupa on Day One and a Wrap-Up. Also Steve Boese posted three times: Day One, Two and Three and Analyst Josh Bersin here and here.

If you just want the facts and no opinions, read more than a dozen news articles about conference sessions listed together at HREOnline.
