BY HRD 29 Jun. 2018

This week saw our fantastic HR Tech Summit 2018 descend on Toronto, bringing together all the major players and globally-renowned speakers across the Canadian tech space.

Our Main Stage played host to some highlights of the Summit, as Ross Sparkman, Facebook’s Head of Strategic Workforce Planning, gave away free signed copies of his acclaimed new book. We saw Stacy Donovan Zapar meet and greet eager delegates and discuss the future of recruitment in the HR Tech space. We were also lucky enough to have David Green of IBM talking on the future of HR analytics and its place in evolving organizational strategy.

Our Platinum sponsor Ceridian took to the stage, as delegates were treated to unique insights on how HR leaders can make a play for a C-Suite seat. From hot HR debates to rousing competitions and panel discussions, HR Tech Summit 2018 did not disappoint.

We’re also pleased to announce that Erica Pearson, Co-Founder & CEO at Vacation Fund, took home the grand prize in our HR Tech Den Competition; securing a $20,000 marketing campaign in HRD Magazine and HRM Online.
