HR.com hosts revolutionary European Human Resources and Leadership event
Event to be held at Forte Village Resort, Sardinia, Italy - 19th-23rd October 2003

So who is HR.com? This three year old, Canadian-based company operates one of the most visited websites (www.hr.com) for human resource (HR) professionals in North America. HR.com provides daily news, an online library of over 6,000 articles, the widest selection of Human Capital Research, and high-end conferences (HR Masters Symposium, The Power of People Series) uniting vendors with strategic buyers.

Targeting vice-presidents, directors of HR, and high-potential leaders, the upcoming Power of People Series planned for October 19 ñ 23, 2003 in Sardinia, Italy is structured to meet the specific needs of these senior decision-makers. The event consists of five different tracks:

- Human Capital Management VIP Invitational
- Women in Leadership & Authenticity
- The Leadership Experience
- Power of People Satellite & Public Series
- Recruitment Forum

Although each event in the Series has unique programming, sessions and content, the keynote speakers are shared among all four. An impressive line-up of world-renowned visionaries include: Benazir Bhutto, Barry Gibbons, Ken Robinson, Marshall Goldsmith, Jean-Francois Manzoni, Fons Tromenaars and Anita Roddick. The opportunity to see and hear all of these speakers in one location is uncommon. Attending delegates will not be disappointed and will take away a memorable experience that can be applied in their day-to-day roles and functions.

The structure of this conference was based on a similar event that HR.com produced in December 2002 in Palm Springs, California. The combination of senior HR decision-makers with leading suppliers of HR products and services was an unmistakable success, drawing over 200 delegates and over 50 HR vendors including Yahoo! Resumix, Recruitsoft, Bernard Hodes, DDI, Gallup, Hire.com, PeopleSoft, SAP and many others. (See www.thehrmasters.com for a complete listing of vendors).

This year, in Sardinia, HR.com has decided not only to unite vendors with strategic buyers in a one-on-one meeting environment, but also offer Leadership programs and a remote satellite program for companies that want to broadcast some or all of the keynote speakers to their staff without having to send a large contingency to the event.

Here is a more detailed look at the individual events in The Power of People Series:

The Human Capital Management VIP Invitational is a three and a half day event that features the keynote speakers, in-depth Learning Forums, one-on-one meetings between vendors and delegates, and other networking opportunities. This environment enables both the vendors and delegates to conduct extensive research in a condensed period of time and could not otherwise be accomplished.

Women in Leadership & Authenticity offers (both men and women) the opportunity to better understand the role of women in the workplace and to gain insight into the importance of authentic behaviour, for both genders. Offered in cooperation with Barbara Annis & Associates, based in Canada, this workshop-type environment consists of leadership development training and programs lead by expert facilitators, as well as access to the keynote speakers, making for a very diverse leadership event.

Similarly, the Leadership Experience will offer leadership development training and programs, also lead by expert facilitators, however, this event will focus on how to achieve success at the strategic level of management. The emphasis will be on converting high-potential operational leaders to strategic decision-making leaders, and will be held over a four day period.

The Power of People Satellite Series is an effective way to reach the masses within your own company. Instead of sending fifty or one hundred participants to this Series, you may simply congregate into a theatre setting where you will receive live broadcasts of the keynote speakers of your choice. Alternatively, you may also ìwalk-inî to the Forte Village to see only the keynotes of your choice, although you will still have to pay a fee for this.

The venue is first class all the way. Forte Village Resort on Sardinia provides one of the most beautiful backdrops for conferences. With its relatively easy accessibility from Rome, London, Milan and much of Western Europe, the Mediterranean will bring its inimitable allure, charm and wonderful ambience to this Series. The conference facilities are world-class and have been home to many other high-profile European events. (www.fortevillageresort.com)

But beyond the location, The Power of People Series has real value to offer its participants. In essence, this event will bring together a collection of high-powered speakers, delegates and vendors, in one location, to specifically network, share knowledge and exchange ideas on any number of critical HR and leadership issues, including Recruitment.

The value for the attending delegates is significant. Not only will the visionary keynotes speakers inspire them, but practically speaking, they will learn how to improve process, affect the bottom-line, and become a strategic part of their organizations. The Learning Forums sessions along with the Leadership program will be essential learning and knowledge environments for gaining insight, tools and action for HR success.

HR.com has revolutionized the HR industry with this Series, providing tangible benefits, a unique learning environment, and collection of vendors, speakers and attendees like no other. This Series should be an attractive prospect for any senior HR decision-maker, HR vendor or organizations looking to grow their leadership.
