HCI's Regional Technology Summits 2010

Talent Management technology can be the catalyst for driving real change and impact in your company. However, our members tell us that making good technology decisions is difficult because piecing together the full strategic, operational, organizational and technical picture is time consuming, expensive and siloed. Moreover, in a fast changing economic environment, organizational priorities change quickly and the need to align new TM processes and their systems with business goals is critical to corporate sustainability.

Determining the way your organization’s technology will carry out your talent management directives is one of the most important decisions you will make.

To help you with this daunting task, HCI has developed the Regional Technology Summits, a one-day event that will help attendees make smart, reliable talent management technology decisions. Exclusively focused on bringing together the leading providers and industry experts, Regional Technology Summits will help you fully understand the new offerings and trends in the marketplace as well as broaden your network of peers through structured meeting activities and interactive roundtables.

Each Regional Technology Summit will enable you to tap into:

• Thought leaders in Talent Management technologies will cover how to judge a comprehensive TM system, how to best leverage new data sources and features along with an unbiased perspective with an unrivaled synthesis and overview.
• Leading Technology Providers. In your own city talking about their solutions drawing from real-world client experiences and available for real dialogue.
• Peer to peer advice from fellow executives in local companies who have bought the same technologies as you, have overcome the same implementation issues as you’re facing, building the same business cases as you’re building. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Learn from the experience of the HCI membership

Industry Experts include:

• Ed Newman, Leader, Futurestep
• Mollie Lombard, Aberdeen
• Experts from companies including:
  • Taleo
  • Halogen
  • IQ Navigator
  • Lawson
  • Linked In
  • Enwisen
  • The Ladders

Your Program Experience

Opening Keynote Address

Ed Newman, Leader, Futurestep U.S. President, The Newman Group, A Futurestep Company

This keynote address synthesizes, organizes and insightfully comments on the state of play in Talent Management, Acquisition and Workforce Performance technologies. You can read for hours and days or you can come here and get this laid out for you.

Peer to Peer Roundtables moderated by issue-focused leading analysts and leading practitioners

Attendees break into three peer to peer discussion groups- one on talent acquisition, one on talent management and one on workforce performance. Each roundtable is moderated by a seasoned industry expert who will help drive the conversation towards trends, solutions and cost effective processes.

There is no better advice than the advice one gets from real-world peers who have struggled with what you’re struggling with, learned the lessons, and can share them you. Peer-tested, practitioner approved.

Vendor Technology Sessions

You will experience the industry’s leading providers on stage demoing their product with stories from the front lines in client companies. You need the technology, you need to kick the tires - come hear from the principal providers in HR technology as they show you how it works and why it’s great in a consolidated session.

Boxed Lunch- Technology Vendor showcase

Complimentary lunch will be provided – you’ll then have a chance to visit with top vendors to better understand aspects of their technology that interests you most, ask questions and test drive the software.

Closing Address with World-Wide, Real-Time Audience Participation

On stage are leading analysts and practitioners will give a quick synthesis on what they’ve seen and heard throughout the day - They will also take questions from audience and from the HCI global membership in real time. This session will be centered on the intersection of the cutting edge and practical, the ideal state and the reality, and what it takes to really drive to success.
