The i4cp 2017 Conference, dedicated to discovering next practices you can implement now, takes place March 20 – 23, 2017 in Scottsdale, Arizona and will feature 15+ thought leader and senior executive presentations, as well as plenty of opportunity for premium networking and collaboration for the 300 practitioners in attendance. To ensure rich and open discussion, vendors and consultants are not allowed to attend.

About Kathleen Hogan

Hogan, as head of HR at i4cp member company Microsoft, is responsible for pushing the company’s cultural transformation forward so it can thrive in a mobile-first, cloud-first world. As widely reported, Microsoft is undergoing significant change under CEO Satya Nadella, and Hogan plays a key role in shaping policy for the company’s 115,000 employees.

About Pat Wadors

Wadors, who was the highest rated speaker at last year’s conference, returns to provide additional insight into how HR is crucial in LinkedIn’s rapid growth and the “sexy” initiatives she’s implemented to engage employees and inspire innovation.

While we have many more terrific speakers to announce, we believe that anticipation is half the fun: we’ll unveil our full lineup over the next six weeks.
