Thank you to the more than 1,000 delegates, speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, volunteers and staff who made the 2010 Alberta HR Conference a dynamic learning and networking event for the fifth year in a row.  It takes a diverse team to plan and execute an event of this complexity - it is all of us together that make this a truly valuable event.

Think Up: ideas + strategies = RESULTS provided participants the chance to engage in dynamic dialogue about the importance of higher-level, big-picture thinking. Interactive discussions will reinforce how HR ideas and strategies contribute to the bottom line of any organization.

Green Statistics 

After the success of our past eco-friendly initiatives, the HRIA wanted to keep the spirit of environmental responsibility a top priority in this year’s conference planning.

From online registration to onsite recycling, delegates experienced many green initiatives throughout the duration of the conference:

  • Online registration was available via the conference website
  • Bags were made from 20-60% recycled materials and are 100% recyclable
  • Double walled travel cups were provide to delegates to refill beverages throughout the day

Under the leadership and expertise of their Environmental Protection committee, the BMO Centre, Stampede Park, has many programs in place to reduce, reuse and recycle, including recycling facilities located throughout the facility for delegates.

The efforts put forth during the 2010 conference resulted in more than 1,000 kg of waste was diverted from the landfill:

  • 170 kg of paper products recycled
  • 712 kg of cardboard from the tradeshow
  • 8 kg of plastic shrink wrap
  • 810 (approx) water/juice/pop bottles and cans recycled
  • 6 wooden pallets recycled

Thanks to all the suppliers, vendors and delegates who contributed to this worthwhile effort!
