I’m back with my #SHRM22 schedule! I’m so excited to be visiting New Orleans for the first time (: This conference is going to be a blast – I’m so excited for all of the sessions and meet ups!
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 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 #SHRM22 and #ClaireShares
