About Human Resources Management Summit 2009
As businesses continue to find new and innovative ways to stay ahead and compete effectively, attracting and retaining key talent within an organisation becomes ever more important. The HR profession is shifting from people transaction functions to a critical business capability that creates a competitive advantage. At the HRM Summit 2009, you will explore the major shifts affecting organizations today and in the future.

You not only will learn first-hand how to recognize and respond to these shifts, but also can network with colleagues who are successfully navigating these areas of development. The HRM Summit 2009 provides an opportunity to step back and learn, share, and build new relationships that will help grow your organizations and careers. Conducted in a class-room style with several networking opportunities, this is your opportunity to benefit from the vast experience in a more niche group of your peers facilitating more in-depth high level discussions and debate.
