2017 HR & Leadership Conference a success

The 2017 Human Resource & Leadership Conference came to a successful close on Tuesday, October 31 after two full days that included 17 sponsors, more than 300 delegates, 4 keynote speakers and 14 concurrent sessions. Full details here.

The theme of this year’s event, ‘Leverage’ represented Human Resources and Business coming together to leverage their strategic advantage. 

‘Leverage’ is found in the points where data meets experience, where technology touches motivation, where analytics enrich leadership. Speakers and delegates converged at these points, with valuable discussion and networking.

We made a couple of significant changes this year to enhance the delegate experience. One was to move the new side of the RBC Convention Centre which features lots of natural light.  The other, which was in part due to the change in space, was to limit the conference to sponsors only to recognize their important support of the conference and the association. 

With the conference taking place during Halloween, we held a pumpkin decorating contest for sponsors. Congratulations to Facilitated Solutions who took top honours and to delegate Jennifer Tarrant, CPHR who won a complimentary ticket to the 2018 HR Legislative Review (a value of $395).

A big thank you is owed to our speakers who advanced the human resource profession by sharing their knowledge and expertise. 

To all the delegates - your dedication to the profession and desire for personal and professional development are appreciated. You are driving business excellence and your organizations will undoubtedly benefit. 

Post-event evaluation surveys have been sent to all delegates. We appreciate your time and feedback to complete your evaluation. 

One winner will be drawn from those who complete the survey to receive a complimentary registration to the 2018 CPHR Manitoba Conference. Thank you again, we look forward to seeing you next year.
