It was interesting to meet the vendors & the exhibition hall was fun, but I found many of the HR professionals to be amateurish. Do you need a ruler and five yo yos? I felt that the tone of the speakers was condescending. I'll be proud of HR as a function and have a little fun when we stop talking about how proud we're supposed to be and we start talking about issues that impact the workforce. Blah blah blah, I'm on my high horse. I'll go to New Orleans if only for all the free cookies! I was done with SHRM in 48 hours.
