Looking Ahead to This Year's HR Convention in Las Vegas

The HR Tech Conference 2018 will take place between the 11th and 14th of September this year in Las Vegas. With more than 5,000 attendees expected, it’s the world’s largest HR tech conference, and this year, some of the most well-known names in the industry are expected to be a part of the 22-year-old conference.

What to Look Forward to at this year’s HR Tech Conference

Human Resource Executive magazine’s editor, Steve Boese, is the co-chairman of the event. Well known for his podcasts, Boese is a highly respected name in the industry and has been working on improving and implementing HR technology for over 15 years.

Boese is focused on solving business issues with the help of technology, catering to a variety of niches including education and telecommunications. Looking forward to the event, Boese has stated in an interview with TalentCulture that there is a reason for the conference’s success and growth over recent years.

“We’ve seen improving economic and business conditions, certainly here in the U.S. but in a lot of other countries as well, since the end of the recession,” he’s been quoted, adding that a better climate is encouraging organizations to invest in human resources again:

“There’s an increased need for organizations to better compete and deploy human capital. With a record number of job openings and near-record highs in the average time to fill a job in the United States, companies are looking toward technologies to help them manage those challenges and opportunities.”

The Agenda for This Year's Human Resources Technology Meet-Up

Like previous years, the 2018 conference will begin with the Women in HR Technology Event, chaired by Tech PR Expert Jeanne Achille. The half-day event will talk about the role of women in HR tech and how more women can be drawn to this field.

Other events include demos from HR Tech providers, lectures on the use of AI in HR, research insights from some of the top HR influencers, and much more. While speakers will talk about the changing landscape, attendees will get a chance to ask questions and learn about the latest HR tech, such as the growth of video interviewing.
