Dive Insight:

After 17 years of driving the HR Tech train in this country, HRE's move to China underscores the reality that the country is the serious new frontier for U.S.-based HR Tech businesses. It will be an interesting event, considering the language issues, cultures, etc.

But the folks at HRE have reputation for putting on good, informative shows here, so that would bode well for attendees across APAC seeking solutions for their HR challenges.
