The SHRM exposition allows individuals in Human Resources network, gather information, and gain excitement. If you are trying to figure out a training program or putting together a way to reward your employees you will find it here. There are many different booths to visit to find the best recognition program for your company. Come visit our booth (Booth 1230) to see if we offer a recognition program that suits your needs!
So you’re looking for a recognition program but now what?
1. Plan ahead. Figure out what sessions you plan on attending and which exhibitors you want to visit. Write down which exhibitors offer recognition programs and then prioritize. Visit the booths you are most interest in first then move down your list. Find a list of exhibitors here: http://expocad.shrm.org/13ann.html.
