    We are pleased to announce that based on attendee surveys we will be back in Buffalo, NY for the 2014 NYS SHRM Annual Conference and Solution Center and we hope you will join us. We are dedicated to making this event successful for the exhibitors as well as the attendees. The Buffalo Niagara Convention Center has the size and location to accommodate participants from across New York State as well as from Pennsylvania and Southern Ontario, Canada.

     

    We understand the importance of the return on investment with you attending this conference. It is our goal to do what we can for this conference to be a successful one that will assist you in:

    • Showcasing your services
    • Fostering customer relationships
    • Building a potential new client base
    • Introduce new products and services.

    The 2013 conference had nearly 500 attendees and we are expecting a greater attendance this year. This group of HR professionals gathering at one location will allow your company to engage in face to face communication providing solutions and assistance to key HR decision makers.

    We have carefully reviewed last year’s survey forms completed by vendors and have incorporated many of the comments and suggestions they offered to us. We anticipate that this year’s conference will be bigger and better.

    This year, we have made some changes to some of the sponsorship opportunity levels, and as always, are very appreciative of your support of our conference and strive to provide as much value for your investment as possible. We believe this will be an excellent opportunity to connect with key decision-makers in the HR profession in NYS.

    Register and pay for a “level” sponsorship package (Keynote, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze or Break/Reception) before April 30, 2014 and receive an Early Bird Discount of $100. Contact Ned Hirt, PHR
