Welcome!!! On behalf of my entire team, I would like to thank you for your interest in the HR Star Conference. Like thousands of other human resources professionals, I think that you will find the HR Star Conference to be a unique event and one that you might consider returning to year after year. Who We Are The HR Star Conference is organized and produced by me -- Braden Albert of Abbington Court Media. My company is dedicated to the belief that the garden of human resources grows in direct proportion to the sunlight of new ideas and the nutrients of excellence which nourish it. Consider the HR Star Conference to be a salute to your efforts and to your dedication. A Little Background The first HR Star Conference took place on October 29, 1999 in Cleveland, Ohio. Since then, we have added events in Los Angeles, Atlanta and San Francisco. We draw 550-800 attendees -- depending on the city -- as well as a select number of featured exhibitors. Purpose & Vision My guiding vision for the HR Star Conference is simple: provide a day of learning, sharing, networking, benchmarking & community building all at little or no cost to the HR professionals who attend. As for the agenda, I aim to feature a variety of cutting edge topics, legal updates and practical workshops that both expand the mind and uncover specific solutions to the HR challenges you are facing at work. As the concept has grown over the years, another major objective has emerged, namely, to foster an environment ideal for networking. With the generous support of some of the nation's most celebrated consultants, legal minds, corporate practitioners and innovative exhibitors, we have been able to pursue these objectives annually. Invitation to Attend Please consider this web site to be an invitation to something new. For those who qualify, you may send up to 4 HR professionals from your organization to any of the HR Star Conferences in 2008. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly. I look forward to meeting you in person! Sincerely, Braden Albert President HR Star Conference Abbington Court Media 702-478-6950 braden@hrstar.com
