The TalentCulture #TChat Show is back live on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, from 7-8 pm ET (4-5 pm PT). Last week we talked about how to successfully work from anywhere, and this week we're going to talk about the HR Technology mic drop. Specifically this is our very special 2014 HR Technology & Exposition show, live from fabulous Las Vegas and complete with one of the most influential influencers in the HR Technology space, Jessica Miller-Merrell. Fact is, the HR technology industry will most likely be worth nearly $10 billion (or more) in 2015. That's the mic drop. Boom. A lot of opportunity for HR vendors, and great news for buyers because integrated "talent engagement" software is here to stay, including recruiting, performance, compensation, succession, learning and so much more, all of which are helping improve employee engagement, productivity and driving business outcomes. Plus, data management, social collaboration and video technologies are all still very hot. Oh, and talent analytics across the board, that's really the big, big mic drop. Double boom. Join TalentCulture #TChat Show co-creators and co-hosts Meghan M. Biro and Kevin W. Grossman live from Las Vegas as we learn more HR technology this year and next with this week's guest: Jessica Miller-Merrell, SPHR, President/CEO of Xceptional HR, author, speaker, HR professional, and workplace social media expert who has a passion for recruiting, training, and all things social media.
