“The annual SHRM conference is the very cornerstone of Aflac’s HR conference initiative. No other event offers Aflac the access to so many of the country’s top HR and benefits decision makers. Aflac has become one of the most recognized corporate brands in American business through the Aflac duck. But the fundamental reason why we are the choice of over 300,000 payroll accounts across the United States is that Aflac enhances the value of employee benefit packages. The SHRM conference is the perfect venue for us to say thanks to many of our current clients and introduce ourselves to key HR professionals from across the country. There is no other conference like it.”
Jeff Herbert
Chief Marketing Officer, Aflac

“The SHRM annual conference is the best investment for our HR marketing dollar.  In my 25 years of exhibiting at numerous trades shows and conferences, I have never been treated better by any organization and I have never seen an organization work so diligently and creatively to draw non-stop traffic to the exhibitor area. The SHRM event organizers are truly in a class all their own!  Thank you very much and we are already booked for next year!”
