I’m backkk! I was so bummed SHRM20 in San Diego, CA was cancelled… but here we are only a few short weeks away from #SHRM21 in Las Vegas! Personally, I love Vegas and am looking forward to the conference being back there and attending on-site. SHRM19 in Vegas was such a blast, and since that was the last conference I attended, the conference center and flow of things is honestly still fresh in my mind!
Have you registered yet for #SHRM21? Options to attend virtually or on-site are available. Register today & receive a $150 off registration discount with the code SHRM21_ INFLUENCER and receive a free SHRM21 x Life is Good co-branded t-shirt!
I’m publishing my schedule again this year so it’s easier for friends who aren’t attending to hop on Twitter at the time/session that interests them and see my live Tweets/nuggets. Also if you’re attending any of these on-site please let me know so we can get together for a SHRM Selfie! I’ll be wearing the same black and white Vera Bradley back pack as I have in years past, so it’ll be easy to find me!

During the sessions I’m attending, I’ll be live tweeting using #SHRM21 and #ClaireShares
