Regular readers of HR Bartender know I’m a cheerleader for social media.  I enjoy using it, have great fun writing and talking about it, and learn a bunch of great stuff.  But, I still consider myself a student of the subject…the pace that social media is growing is just phenomenal.

So if you’re like me, you’ll want to keep on top of this learning curve.  And, there’s a terrific conference coming up that will help you do just that.

IQPC is hosting “Social Media for Talent Management” on June 9, 2009 at HSBC Bank in New York City.  The event will bring together the gurus of social media to share their strategies on integrating social media into human resources for improved business results.  You can download the event brochure (PDF) to learn more.

Some of the takeaways include:

• Winning senior management buy-in
• Creating communities through social networking
• Improving knowledge management through social networks
• Using social media as a learning tool
• Avoiding legal battles associated with social networks

IQPC has generously offered friends of HR Bartender a special 20% discount on the standard registration rate.  Just use the code IUS_HRB_SMTM.  A big thanks to Michelle Cardinal at IQPC for the consideration.
