Twenty years of Human Resources innovation in technology. Amazing!
Last week, thousands of industry leaders, experts and innovators gathered in Vegas for the 20th Annual HR Tech Conference, and we joined in the conversation digitally on Twitter!
Some of the major takeaways as told by our favorite #HRTechConf tweets are listed below!
It was with somber hearts that the #HRTechConf kicked off on Oct 10th as the city was just hit with the largest mass shooting in US history.

But it wasn’t long before the official @HRTechConf Twitter account started things off strong with their #VegasStrong post. Igniting the community to give back to the host city in their time of need.
