SuccessFactors recently attended the SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) National Conference, where we were able to meet and mingle with over 15,000 HR professionals from all over the world. SFSF was represented by 20 employees, a 20×20 booth on the show floor, and countless numbers of customers and partners at the event. Over 300 attendees stopped by the tradeshow booth in order to see a demo of our products for the first time, meet with a specific sales rep, ask questions about current implementations, or just to say hello as an existing, HAPPY customer!

The SHRM audience heard from keynote speakers such as Sidney Poitier, who spoke about the importance of diversity and motivating people to make a difference in the world, to Patrick Lencioni, author of books such as The Three Signs of a Miserable Job, who talked about the importance of making any job more rewarding and fulfilling for managers and employees alike.

All in all, the conference was a success with great content and ample time to work with attendees on the expansive show floor. The SHRM organization draws HR professionals from companies of all sizes, but this tends to be a show that many mid-sized and smaller organizations are sure to attend, because there is always something from every arena of HR in the room. We will continue to support and work with SHRM on events throughout the year!
