Live From the Edge of HR Innovation #TChat Preview
(Editor’s Note: For full insights from this week’s events see High Tech or High Touch? #TChat Recap.)
On The Road Again
It’s a huge week ahead in Philadelphia at the HRO Today Forum — not just for #TChat-ters, but also for some of the most innovative vendors in the HR space.
As we mentioned several weeks ago, TalentCulture co-founders Meghan Biro and Kevin Grossman will be front-and-center throughout the conference, where they’ll do triple duty:
- Working the aisles and sharing insights on the #TChat Twitter feed and through other social channels
- Hosting a special 1-hour Wednesday daytime #TChat Radio Show
- Moderating and judging the Forum’s iTalent competition on Wednesday evening
Meghan equates the iTalent competition to a reality show like “The Voice” (or, as she explained last year, “The X Factor”) — a live “show-and-tell” experience for HR professionals who obsess over innovative ideas and technologies. But I think anyone who likes to stay ahead of business and technology trends will find it fascinating.

Last week on the Reach-West Blog, Kevin introduced the five finalists:
