HR professionals from more than fifteen countries across the globe registered and had the opportunity to select and attend any of the complimentary webcasts and information sessions throughout the four themed weeks of the virtual HR tech event. Fifty percent of those attending were in a managerial position or higher. Almost half (49%) of attendees were from organizations with 1000+ employees, from companies such as Unilever, Adidas, Amazon, Apple, AOL, Intel Corporation, NBCUniversal, and so many more.
