Talent Management Summit in Vegas

I wanted to let HRM Today readers know about the 11th Annual Talent Management Summit being held in Las Vegas by Human Resources IQ on October 20-23 and a special discount you all can get just for reading this blog. Very exciting, I know. I was trying to get them to commit to maybe some trick ponies or some of those guys that juggle flaming bowling balls because I heard those are a big hit but I think they are sticking to stuff that is actually useful to HR professionals.

I just wanted to highlight a few things that this conference has to offer:

• They have case studies from some real live companies like MGM Mirage, MetLife and Avon (my personal fave)
• Applicable seminars that you can actually go back to your work and apply. Check out some of the presentations from past seminars (All PDF’s)
• A Zappos University tour (you may have heard something about them)
• Networking opportunities with other great HR people
• And of course, Vegas!

I am bummed I can’t go because I do like going to Vegas (I was just there a couple weeks ago) but Human Resources IQ are the good guys and they’ve done ten of these things so I think they might know a thing or two. Human Resource IQ is around for the same reason HRM Today is around: HR people helping other HR people navigate the changing environment. When I was talking to their marketing manager, it seems like they really want to attract people who understand the online aspect of our industry. They are reaching out to a lot of bloggers to have them attend this event (via discounts and even complimentary press passes) and I told them I’d be happy to spread the word (even if I can’t go).

It gets even better. If you use the promo code TMHRM when you sign up, you’ll get a 15% discount just like that. Seriously! Then you can work on getting the upgraded suite at the Venetian. Don’t get your hopes up on that though.
