For anyone who’s into human resources, social media and technology issues you need to know that my buddy, Michael Specht, is running the HR Futures Conference in Melbourne on 26 February 2009.

It’s a one day event that will bring together speakers covering HR, Recruiting and Technology to discuss how social media, innovation, culture and technology empower, attract, engage and evolve employees.

Sounds like some really interesting speakers & panellists: e.g. Thomas Shaw CEO of Recruitment Directory, Riges Younan CEO of 2Vouch, Geoff Jennings Director & Founder of Online Recruitment and David Talamelli Senior Recruiter from Oracle Corporation.

As Michael says:

“The day will feature ten different speakers across seven presentations and two panel discussions with topics covering recruitment, learning, professional development, and legal issues as they related to Web 2.0”
