MEET YOUR TEEG STAFF
I want to personally thank you for joining us in the mile high city, aka Denver, for our 12th Annual A/E/C HR Summit. Your attendance this year is especially meaningful to me, as you have had to deal with three delays, overcome ongoing concerns of the Coronavirus, an uncertain future, media paranoia, and maybe even potential backlash from your own organization about ‘non-essential’ travel. Well, you made it, and behalf of all of us at The Employee Engagement Group, your sponsors, fellow presenters, and attendees, THANK YOU!!! Your commitment to the Summit has never been more strongly tested.
Your health and safety will be our most important priority over the next few days, and we will follow CDC guidelines for our meetings to ensure a healthy and safe environment for our employees, speakers, and of course, all attendees.
From my early days starting the Summit in Newport Beach, CA in 2010 with 35 attendees, our Summit has now become the largest gathering of HR professionals in the industry, with pre- covid attendance routinely surpassing 200. I’m proud to say the dedicated team from The Employee Engagement Group (TEEG) continues to make this Summit possible each year by putting in hundreds of hours of effort. Thank you team TEEG for your tireless effort and commitment over the past 18 months - a period which we saw many additional hours of rescheduling, endless contract re-negotiations, agenda changes, and attendee deferrals.
That said, 'the show must go on' and we believe we have put together an amazing conference with a theme of RECHARGE: your performance, culture and hiring. We continue to evolve the agenda based on your input – so again, we have built in lots of time to network with your fellow colleagues, speakers, and fellow attendees. The relationships you build this week will last a lifetime - both professionally and personally.
On behalf of all of us here at The Employee Engagement Group, as well as from our great sponsors, Engineering Management Institute, ROG, Talent Matters and Titus Talent Strategies, we encourage you to enjoy your time with us, forge new business relationships, and challenge conventional wisdom so you can hit the ground running on Monday accelerating new ideas for your organization. Of course, please let us know if we can answer any questions while you are here.
