Connecting HR tweet-up #2 (June 2010)

 

   June already, and that means it’ll shortly be the event of the Summer – the second Connecting HR tweet-up on Thursday 24th June.

We’ve got an amazing group of people already booked to attend.  But if you want to join us, there’s currently still space to join us.  Don’t leave it too long though!

 

 

Event Details

We're now organising the second Connecting HR Tweet-up (a London based meet-up for HR people using or interested in social media including Twitter).

The first event, held on the 29th March was very well received with some 60+ attendees from organisations including Betfair, Pizza Express, Sega, Leonard Cheshire, BT, Symantec, Talis, Mayborn Group, CM Murray and London Overground.  The CIPD also attended as did most of the major HR journalists and websites including Personnel Today, XpertHR, HRZone and Changeboard

To get a flavour for the event, take a look at the independent reviews from Mike Morrison, Donald H Taylor, TheHRD and HRZone (The Editors Blog: Charlie Duff) on their respective blog posts.

Photo's of the event can also be seen here and here.  For those of you already using twitter you can catch up on some of the many comments by reviewing the hashtag stream at #ConnectingHR.

VENUE

Once again, we'll be meeting in a private room in The Square Pig just North of Holborn Station.

And once again, the event will be free to attend, including drinks, sponsored by Courtenay HR.

.

The event is open to:

  • Individuals currently working inside an organisation as an HR, Recruitment, L&D, OD, Internal Communication Professional.
  • Journalist, Academic or Representative of Professional Body.

Suppliers please check note on the eventbrite site.

.

EVENT STRUCTURE

The event is designed as an informal networking and sharing opportunity.  We are hoping to include a few short 'open mic' sessions at intervals during the evening to give the attendees a chance to ask questions and share their experiences.  Further details will be posted nearer the time.  We will also be sharing more details of the first HR 'Unconference' to be held in the UK.

We're sure this will be a really great networking event and we look forward to seeing you there!
