The theme of the 2010 conference is Living and Working in an Intercultural World.
Intercultural communication requires a context in which to be practiced. That context is no longer remote or unique, but is the world in which we live every day at every level of society. Living in this world is a daily intercultural experience and we contend that we can shape the quality of this experience. This is an opportunity to explore how the reality of living interculturally can be approached dynamically and creatively especially in a time of reduced resources.

HRM Expo 2010
October 12th - 14th, 2010 - Cologne, Germany
Much has changed in the past 10 years. The HRM Expo celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2009 - with greater success than ever before. As the largest HR exhibition in Europe, recognized not only by its size, but also through diversity and quality. Our main goal was to offer the visitors an exciting portfolio that could rival any congress. Since 2007, a jury of industry recognized experts decides which lectures and speeches will be presented at the exhibition thus putting our topics always up to date. There is no room for one-sided biased presentations. Instead we emphasize best practice presentations from which each visitor may learn and gain maximum benefit from. Furthermore, we also demand the same requirements in our discussion panels, of which we have more than twenty. Every attendee can draw his own conclusions from these controversial discussions and apply them to his unique work environments.
