Haven't made up your mind about attending? Do you need help convincing your manager why it is important that you attend? Following are ten great reasons why every agribusiness human resource professional, business leader, university/college career services staff and association representative should attend:
- The AgCareers.com Ag & Food HR Roundtable is in its 13th year and offers the most unique and rewarding peer networking experience available in the agriculture and food industries. Click here to see the companies that participated last year.
- Industry and key college/university professionals can interact with each other in one location during networking times. Not only are connections on this level necessary for successful internship recruitment and talent pipeline development, but it is a cost effective way to accomplish college recruiting initiatives. See who is already registered for this year's Roundtable.
- The Roundtable is an excellent opportunity to gain industry knowledge outside of your specific industry sector. We know that not all human resource professionals have an agriculture background, so this event is helpful to gain insight into the industry as a whole.
- Relevant content around topics suggested by past participants and requested specifically by a committee of industry HR leaders and university representatives. To see a list of the companies represented on the Organizing Committee, click here.
- Program tracks designed to offer a one-of-a-kind customized learning experience. Not only do we offer several keynote sessions, we also offer two sets of concurrent sessions that are focused on varying track areas -HR Management, Recruiting Practices, and University/College focused content, along with Small to Mid-Size Organization and Large Organization tracks. These tracks, as well as our keynote sessions, are being led by some exceptional speakers this year.
- This year's Roundtable conference has been approved by the HR Certification Institute for 8.5 (general) recertification credit hours toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification.
- NEW this year is the optional Military Recruitment Add-on Workshop held August 6, 2015. This special workshopincludes targeted sessions to address sourcing military talent, interpreting military experience and recruitment success stories.
- Brainstorming sessions allow for idea sharing and industry benchmarking. New viewpoints can provide fresh ideas on best practices and policies that can be applied to your business.
- FUN activities and a fast paced agenda- the conference wouldn't be the same without the many networking activities, such as the Monsanto Tour, Welcome Reception, Wednesday Evening Networking Dinner and optional breakfasts. These events can all be found on the schedule of events.
- Time away from the office and daily grind is always rejuvenating. This conference is sure to do that!
