HRM Expo

A must for all HR professionals!

In 2000, the HRM Expo opened its doors publicly for the first time. Back then the exhibition dedicated itself to topics such as online job markets, personnel leasing, recruiting strategies and motivating compensation strategies with 70 exhibitors, two practical forums panels, and more than 25 lectures. With 2,426 visitors, we achieved a large success. The exhibition has made the Convention Center in cologne, Germany, its permanent location. Much has changed in the past 11 years. The HRM Expo will take place for the 11th times in 2010. As the largest HR exhibition in Europe, recognized not only by its size, but also through diversity and quality. Our main goal was to offer the visitors an exciting portfolio that could rival any congress. Since 2007, a jury of industry recognized experts decides which lectures and speeches will be presented at the exhibition thus putting our topics always up to date. There is no room for one-sided biased presentations. Instead we emphasize best practice presentations from which each visitor may learn and gain maximum benefit from. Furthermore, we also demand the same requirements in our discussion panels, of which we have more than twenty. Every attendee can draw his own conclusions from these controversial discussions and apply them to his unique work environments. Compared to time-consuming and inflexible congresses, visitors have a large range of various and exciting offerings and may select which panel they wish to participate in. The exhibition schedule offers detailed information about goals and intentions of these lectures and debates, so the visitors can make an informed decision in advance according to their own interests. Concurrently, the HRM Expo also offers a number of smaller congresses, seminars, and workshops held to cover more specific topics and niches. In recent years for example our congress for educational controlling (“Deutscher Fachkongress für Bildungscontrolling). HRM Expo’s strength is its professional exhibitions. At these, more than 500 exhibitioners present the newest innovations in their sectors. Many exciting product launches have been presented there for the first time ever. Most of our exhibitors are long-term clients and are solidly convinced of the high quality of HRM Expo’s exhibitions. Proving their strong belief in the HRM Expo, many are consecutive attendees year after year. The exhibition offers not only the opportunity to network and strengthen business relations but the possibility of also establishing new contacts. We facilitate the above for our exhibitors in a cost-effective and very convenient way. We set the standard for visitor promotion. Promotion of our exhibitions is through domestic and international targeted market-oriented direct mailings and emails with a circulation of thousands. Within these we highlight the exhibition’s offerings and our exhibitors appreciate this above all. Combined with additional advertising within industry specific publications and online advertising, we invite new customers to attend our exhibitions. Exhibitors may use the HRM Expo all day to set appointments and present their projects to the visitors instead of being limited to the time between congressional lectures. We are not only the organizer of the HRM Expo; we live in the Human Resource Management world and understand it. In order to bring new topics and speakers to Germany, we personally visit other exhibitions and congresses throughout the world. It is our modus operandi to connect the world of HR. We achieve this goal with our HR exhibitions in Cologne, Stuttgart, Munich, Vienna, Zurich, Geneva, Barcelona, Budapest, and Moscow and our online portal www.hrm.de. In many years of existence, we have attained an in-depth expertise with the HR manager magazine- Personal Manager, published in Austria. Furthermore, we are working closely with Europe’s leading specialized publishers to present you the most innovative and exciting trends at our exhibitions. We wish you a successful and exciting HRM Expo exhibition experience. Sincerely, spring Messe Management
