[EVENT RECAP]: HR & Employee Benefits Summit Takes on Society Hill
HR decision makers from companies including 4M Building Solutions, Dow Chemical, Johns Hopkins, Johnson & Johnson and Toll Brothers, Inc. met with leading solution providers offering a variety of services in the heart of downtown Philadelphia. “This event was like no other event I have ever been a part of,” exclaimed the Director of Human Resources from Martin Insurance Group, “You receive one-on-one time with vendors of your choice and get the time to learn about products you might not have realized were out there.”
Industry thought leaders also hosted seminars for executive attendees, including New York Times bestselling author and Fortune 500 consultant, Daniel Schawbel. Mr. Schawbel hosted an intimate seminar to 30 of our attendees, the same seminar that he will later present to more than 3,500 people at SHRM in Washington DC. Topics included leadership, recruiting, talent management, management training, and leveraging technology in the human resources industry. “Not only was this experience great for meeting vendors, but also for getting the chance to talk to other individuals in similar roles to me,” said the Head of Senior Recruitment from Suarez Corporation following numerous networking activities and meals. Delegate attendees connected with both vendors and peers during a gala dinner where lobster ravioli and cheesecake were both a huge hit! Later that night, attendees took to the blackjack tables for a chance to win a grand prize.
On day two, everyone was back to business for more meetings and seminars. Before heading back to their offices, attendees participated in a raffle prize drawing over lunch where National Vice President of Training from Toll Brothers, Cynthiann King, took home an online one-on-one assessment from Taking Flight Learning. Other winners included Rene Persin of Hartford Funds and Patrick Paul of Anderson Center for Autism who both took home Seiko watches. Vendors who participated in the draw prizes included DeVry University, Stewart Leadership and CareerArc. Did you miss out on this summit? Don’t worry – you can participate in upcoming summits taking place in San Francisco, CA on November 14-15, 2016.

Why Attend an Appointment-Based Event?
Our niche networking concept develops a pool of potential clients who are qualified and seeking new services. All attendees are senior-level executives with decision-making abilities and sourcing responsibilities. In a traditional setting, a meeting with these clients could take several months to confirm. That’s months of empty calling that may never result in a face-to-face introduction. At a Forum, you meet with up to 30 end users who have indicated they need your service – 62 percent of whom say they plan to do business with 1-3 Vendors they connected with at a Forum! 95 percent of past Vendors report attending an appointment-based event with us saves their company time sourcing and meeting new buyers (consider this cold calling, emailing, travel and maybe – a meeting with a decision maker). Don’t believe us? Here’s what past attendees have to say: "I received excellent leads; contacts I wouldn't have been able to make were it not for these quality meetings!" -Elkay "This event was well worth my time and investment." -Kimberley-Clark "This is an event that provides vendors the chance to really connect with potential clients without the hassle of a trade show booth!" -Detex "Productive day and a half!" -ISS "Very effective process in meeting with interested customers!" - Container Store “Easily the most beneficial summit/conference I have attended. Very well organized and to the point.” –ABM And You Know What Makes Successful Business Deals? Satisfied Clients… Here’s What Past Delegates Are Saying: "I was pleasantly surprised about the number of new or improved products I learned about that I can use. I can think of three suppliers whose products I will begin using immediately!" -Innovative Senior Living "I was very surprised: This gives you the opportunity to have one-on-one contact with the vendors which allows you to get a better feel for their product unlike conventions where they are talking to several people at one time. I really like the one-on-one experience." - Bolivar Medical Center “Summit was a success. Vendor array across many trades and lines. Thorough, well-presented workshops. Very well organized, productive, fun event. One-on-one sessions timed perfectly. Food, awesome. ” "As a first time participant in this Forum - I sincerely appreciate the pace, schedule and enthusiasm of the team! The event was a tremendous help to my company." "It was a wonderfully organized event and very relevant to our business needs…and yes we also enjoyed ourselves. Thanks!" "I have only high reviews for every aspect of the conference. I made some outstanding contacts and will likely be partnering with one or more of the attending vendors. The event was nothing less than outstanding. You guys did a great job!!"
