Growing Number of Buyers and Sellers Plan to Convene at
Upcoming HRO World® Conference and Exposition this May in New York City

-Preferred Destination for Organizations Considering Human Resource Outsourcing Solutions-

HORSHAM, Pa. (March 26, 2009) – As organizations grapple with the impact of fluctuating economic conditions on day-to-day operations, many that are considering HR outsourcing and shared services solutions are planning to attend the 7th Annual HRO World® Conference & Exposition. The destination for HRO buyers from companies of all sizes, this year’s event will be held Tuesday, May 5, through Wednesday, May 6, 2009, at the Hilton New York in New York City.

HRO World® is part of the annual NY HR Week™, which also includes HR in Healthcare™ and HR & EEO in the Federal Workplace™ as well as the Expo Hall.

“Whenever there’s a downturn, people outsource more, not less. Organizations want to take costs out wherever they can,” said Gartner analyst Linda Cohen.

Elliot Clark, program chair for HRO World®, observed that this year’s show will help attendees learn how to bring down operating costs and increase profitability, while also preparing for the economic resurgence. He commented, “Although all companies are currently concerned about travel expenses, getting an outsourcing or shared services decision right is far more important. HRO World® is especially designed to help buyers get the answers they need in one place, at one time.”

Clark continued, “Plus, the companies presenting at HRO World® – including Hertz, Hospital Corporation of America, Qualcomm, Textron and the U.S. Postal Service – have a lot to teach HR professionals who are seriously considering an outsourcing or shared services decision.”

The conference registration rate is $1,095. Attendees registering prior to April 10, 2009, can take advantage of the early bird discount and register at the reduced rate of $995.

Registration for HRO World® includes admission to the conference sessions and the Expo Hall, continental breakfast each morning, refreshment breaks, luncheons, and access to online program materials. Back by popular demand in 2009 are Special Interest Pavilions featuring Thought Leaders. Conference & Expo registrants can pre-register for a free 30-minute personal consultation with an HRO or RPO expert to get advice from some of the top minds in the field.
