SHRM is proud to announce our 61st Annual Conference and Exposition, June 28 – July, 1, 2009, in New Orleans, Louisiana!

New Ideas. New Orleans.

The SHRM Annual Conference & Exposition is a chance for you to gather with some of the greatest minds in human resources, academia, business, globalization and leadership. Learn real strategies and techniques for improving your work and your workplace.
New Orleans welcomed 7.1 million visitors last year and is excited to welcome SHRM in June 2009. The French Quarter is thriving and cleaner than ever, Uptown and the legendary Garden District enjoy a lively shopping and restaurant scene, and the downtown area including Canal Street has seen extensive refurbishment. And not only are those old venues still big draws — breakfast at Brennan’s, a stroll past street artists on Jackson Square, a visit to Preservation Hall to hear traditional jazz — an entirely new selection of cultural and culinary sites has emerged.
There are neighborhoods and areas outside the downtown and tourist areas that are still works in progress three years after Hurricane Katrina. SHRM will offer several opportunities for attendees to participate in the revitalization of these neighborhoods in selected “Voluntourism” projects.
