Description
The annual Cleveland HR Star Conference features 29 sessions on a wide variety of topics covering the broad spectrum of human resources. The 600+ attendees are HR professionals - all from companies with at least 100 employees all the way up to tens of thousands of employees. The vast majority of the attendees work for companies based in Ohio. The Cleveland HR Star Conference is one of the largest human resources conferences in the Midwest. This will be our 18th year overall. We also host similar conferences in Los Angeles (March 2016), San Francisco (July 13, 2016) and Atlanta (September 8, 2016).
Attendee information
Attendees are employed HR professionals from organizations with at least 100 employees. For qualified organizations, up to four HR professionals may attend for free. Typically, this conference qualifies for 4.0 HRCI recertification credits. There are 28 sessions in total. With 600+ attendees, the HR Star Conference is also great for networking. Attendees register each year directly at the web site starting on May 1st: www.hrstarconference.com. For non-qualified attendees, we offer 20 paid attendee spaces at a nominal registration fee.
Exhibitor information
To maximize your impact, we cap the number of exhibitors at just 27 and include you inside the main ballroom (not in a separate trade show area). In addition, each exhibitor is personally introduced to the entire audience at the beginning of the day. This allows all the attendees to learn a little bit about who you are and what your company provides before they visit you during the breaks. We also limit the exhibitors by industry group and category offering exclusives whenever possible. All attendees are required to visit with the exhibitors at some point during the day. There are three major breaks designated for visiting with the exhibitors. In addition to exhibiting, we offer up to 5 Platinum Sponsorships. Call 216-342-4844 for detailed exhibitor and sponsorship information including pricing.
