We’d like to thank the hundreds of customers who joined us in Ottawa in September. There were many elements that helped make our fifth annual user conference a resounding success.
The conference featured inspiring keynotes and workshops delivered by 5 thought leaders in human resources – Dr. William Rothwell, Libby Sartain, Donna Wright, Steve Roesler and Kris Dunn.
Customers from Bank of Oak Ridge; Christiana Care; Church Pension Group; Corbett, Duncan, Hubley; Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation; EMQ FamiliesFirst; Humatica; and the San Diego Zoo shared their Halogen success stories as part of 15 breakout sessions.
Version 10 of the Halogen Talent Management Suite was a hot topic. Main stage sessions introduced the new user experience transformation as well as Halogen Job Description Builder module. And customers were busy test driving this latest release at each of the “Meet the Experts” stations throughout the conference.
The customer appreciation dinner was a conference highlight for many reasons – from the hilarious improv team, to Bright Lights Award ceremony, to the very special video production which began that evening.
Douglas County School District was the recipient of the Bright Bottom Line award for saving the district and its taxpayers $10,000 per appraisal cycle, and leveraging the flexibility of their Halogen solution to create a payroll audit system.
Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation received the Dazzling Implementation award in recognition of the organization’s global deployment: from headquarters in Washington, DC across Africa, which unified many remote field offices, and is driving performance management consistency.
CarVal Investors received the 2010 award for Brilliant Corporate Culture for its success with aligning individual and departmental goals with corporate goals, an effort that has unified their employees, managers and executives across the globe.
All who attended the dinner also got to participate in something very special. Following the awards ceremony, Halogen customers and staff had fun for a good cause. They participated in videotaping a flash mob dance to raise awareness and funds for World Education, Inc., an organization dedicated to improving the lives of the poor through education, and economic and social development programs.
For now, you can see some of the conference highlights in our photo gallery – and see many more photos on Flickr.
