Highlights from 2019
2019 Thank You:
We’d like to thank Roger Haskett for the energy, enthusiasm and professionalism he brought to the emcee role.
We’d like to thank our five exceptional keynote speakers, Mel Robbins, Duncan Wardle, Ron Tite, Hayley Wickenheiser and Steve Gilliland for sharing their personal stories and the lessons they have learned through their experiences.
We’d like to thank our more than 40 breakout session speakers for passing along their knowledge and expertise to the delegates.
We’d like to thank our Indeed Smart Stage presenters for taking the time out of their busy schedules to present at the tradeshow. Your passion for the HR profession and your topics was infectious.
We’d like to thank our Conference Chair, Cindy Dopson and the rest of the Conference Organizing Committee for the countless hours of their time they’ve given up over the past year to help us shape the conference into what we’ve seen over the past few days.
We’d like to thank Susan Ryan, Chair, and the CHPHR BC & Yukon Board of Directors for the time they have given up out of their busy schedules and their support over the years. It was great to see so many of you in attendance.
We’d like to thank our volunteers for the outstanding work they accomplished throughout the past few days. From stuffing delegate bags, to checking coats, to guiding people to the correct session, to the countless other tasks, to being that smiling face greeting people – our team of volunteers truly was awesome. We could not have done what we did without you. THANK YOU.
We’d like to thank our sponsors and tradeshow exhibitors for their support of the event. Again, we couldn’t have done it without you.
We’d like to thank the more than 1,000 delegates who gave up their time and took in the two days of learning and networking. We hope the HR Conference + Tradeshow was everything you were hoping for and more.
We’d like to thank the Vancouver Convention Centre for providing the perfect setting for the HR Conference + Tradeshow. Your staff were amazing, thoughtful and helpful throughout the planning process and the event.
We’d like to thank Levy Show Service for all their help leading up to the event. From setting up the tradeshow, to building the CPHR BC & Yukon booth, to providing tables and stools – you truly do specialize in customer service, event decorating and custom exhibit design.
And last but certainly not least, we’d like to thank FMAV for all their help in transforming the main ballroom and the breakout rooms into something special each and every year. As always, your staff was amazing to work with and the way you transformed an empty ballroom into an “HR Rock Show” was amazing. We truly are both lucky and grateful to have worked with you again this year.
See you all next year. April 28-29, 2020.
