Shauna Moerke is…

In just about one week I am going to be heading over to Atlanta for this confernece you may have heard about, the SHRM 2012 Annual Conference. With it being practically in my backyard, I really had to attend. The people, the content, the speakers… hell, the parties! If you’ve been before, you know what I’m talking about. If you’ve never been, you need to figure out how you can get there. And if this is your first year… You are in for a great time.

Sadly, I’m only really going to be there for Sunday and Monday but you better believe I am making the most out of the time I will be there. I’ve thrown together a preliminary schedule and damn, I’m starting to wonder when I might get a chance to sleep.

Here’s what I’m looking forward to:
– Seeing all my friends, reconnecting, and getting into some trouble.
– Meeting new people, networking, and I don’t know, being professional I guess.
– Tweet up’s and parties Saturday, Sunday, and Monday night.
– A Bloggers street hockey match for charity.
– Malcolm Gladwell’s Keynote.
– Some awesome sessions that I feel will be of immediate benefit at work such as Succession Management, a changing workforce, and so on.

Whew. It’s a lot to do. But I am up to the challenge. Be sure to check back next week for my breakdown on all the fun and follow the #SHRM12 hashtag on twitter for all the up to minute shenanigans. And if you’ll be there, please come over and say hi and I’ll see you in Hotlanta!
