ERE Expo- The Final Words

Posted on September 16, 2009 by admin

The ERE Expo was amazing. The sessions were standing room only, the networking events were hopping, the mood was optimistic and there was a hopeful and upbeat vibe that hung over the conference. Several people have written down their thoughts about ERE and here are the best of them: Michael VanDervort talks about key themes, great networking and what he gets out of frequent conference hopping. Great rundown. Jennifer McClure goes over in depth social relationships, hallway conversations and how to make the most of your experience, complete with video interview. Stephanie Lloyd talks about roadtripping, Twitter buds and the importance of Spanx. HR Marketer’s Blog has an excellent rundown on the networking and where all the key players hung out. Laurie Ruettimann talks about commitment and goals as well as the women of ERE Expo. Some of the biggest news had to do with Jobing and Cheezhead. We’ll let you hear it from Joel Cheesman himself. Find more videos like this on RecruitingBlogs.com Leanne Chase from Career Life Connection wowed us all with her plastic chairs and unique advertisement…person. Jason Buss recaps it for us all…Twitter style. Steve Fogarty, who with Adidas bud Steve Bonomo, killed at the keynote had this to say. Christina Tierney popped off a quick video update for those of us who couldn’t attend. The Trakkrz blog gives props to the event organizers and calls the conference a “tough act to follow” Sarah White sums it up with the bumper sticker comment of the year “If networking is king, then Twitter is Queen” And a rundown of one of the after hours events by Jason Davis

Finally, in a LATE submission but with an interesting “unsung heroes” flavor, here’s Recruiter Guy’s take.
