2009 Conference Overview Our more than 2,000 attendees and leading industry experts all agree that we are the best HR technology show in the industry.
Human Resources 2.0: How the New Web and the Net Generation Are Transforming Talent, Management and the Enterprise
Don Tapscott, internationally renowned authority on the
strategic value and impact of information technology
and author of Grown Up Digital: How the Net
Generation is Changing the World and co-author
of the world-wide bestseller Wikinomics.
Wednesday, September 30, 8:45 – 10 a.m.
The current economy demands new thinking about everything, including HR and technology strategies. Web 2.0, a new medium of human communications, is rapidly becoming a platform for enabling self-organization and communities. At the same time, the Net Generation has come of age, with its eldest members now turning 30. Together, these two factors are forcing companies to rethink areas such as Recruitment, Retention, Compensation, Training, collaboration and the management of talent. While others have merely expressed opinions on some of these subjects, Don Tapscott will share the findings of a recent $4 million landmark study that resulted in his latest book Grown Up Digital and explore what companies need to do to harness the power of human capital and turn it to competitive advantage.

Thursday, October 1, 8:45 – 10 a.m.
We were the first, and after a dozen years, remain the only public conference to bring together industry analysts so you can hear their thoughts on current technology trends and their predictions for the future. Of course, never has that been more important than now. They get smart about HR technology by spending all their time visiting and questioning end-users and vendors, answering telephone queries, plus reading and writing about the most critical technology issues you face. Hundreds of large corporations subscribe to their advisory services for five-figures or more a year. Join them for this 12th Annual conversation and always exciting and enlightening argument.
GENERAL SESSION:
Second Annual Talent Management Shootout
Larry Dunivan, SVP Global HCM Products, Lawson
David Ludlow, VP Suite Solution Management, SAP
Kent Plunkett, CEO, Salary.com
Paul Sparta, CEO, Plateau
Thursday, October 1, 4 – 5:15 p.m.
Our 13th Shootout – and signature event – will be an epic software battle now that two ERPs – Lawson and SAP – have agreed to go up against two Talent Management suite vendors – Plateau and Salary.com. For years, the smaller suite vendors have sold new customers by contending the ERPs’ applications for Talent Management are not as functionally rich or as integrated as theirs. While at the same time, ERPs like SAP and Lawson have been furiously building out and integrating their applications to meet that challenge. Now you can finally find out who was right, at least among these four. Each vendor will tackle a scripted scenario of problems – like those your managers and employees face every day – and show in live custom demonstrations how their software can help solve it. Leighanne Levensaler, Director of Talent Management Research for Bersin & Associates, will co-author the script, as she did the previous three. This one session will save you months of research and sales pitches. Come watch, listen, learn and then vote for your favorite.
Do the Right Thing:
