Aquire User Conference

Posted in Conferences Events, Events on April 27th, 2011 by Lois Melbourne – Be the first to comment

Our User Conference is coming up in May.  It is so exciting to see the agenda coming together and the customers lining up to speak.  I am excited about hearing Cox Communications’ story about their success with our OrgPublisher Mobile, and how it is bringing the connection between their employees to their fingertips.  Now everybody has everybody else’s contact details throughout the organization, regardless of which business unit they are in.

We had previously kept our conferences pretty tight to just Users of Aquire’s software, but this year, with 4 HRCI credits available to earn, and the power of networking with so many great HR professionals facing the challenges of our day, we decided to open it up to all HR professionals.

Beth Carvin, a dynamic, say-it-like-it-is professional, is Key-noting with information near and dear to my heart – Mentoring, and its value to all involved.  By connecting people to their company through personal and professional development, while building closer relationships, everybody wins. read more »

Why go to the HR Tech Conference? Because it’s awesome!

Insight, Aquire's Workforce Analytics SolutionThere are plenty of reasons to go to the HR Technology Conference. The chance to network with HR professionals across the nation, the opportunity to hear and interact with leaders in our field, the ability to prospect products and services side-by-side, and the sessions focused on social media (They have a session on blogging!), to name a few. Not to mention, our friend, Marc Effron, will be following up his keynote at our conference by keynoting at HR Tech. These are all great and are already worth the trip to the Windy City. But honestly, they’re just an appetizer to read more »

2009 Aquire Virtual Conference Receives Rave Reviews

Guest Post by Amy Cohen, Director of Marketing

We all hear that change is good and while I usually agree, I must admit that changing our live customer event to a virtual event was not one I was originally on board with. To say we have the greatest customers is an understatement. Which is why the entire Aquire team looks forward each year to hosting the Aquire User Conference. The event is filled with great sessions, workshops, networking and product training, but more importantly it’s the energy and the buzz you get from being around people that love your product as much as you do that makes it such a special event. read more »
