The world is constantly presenting challenges to us. We are the ultimate deciders who can either choose to respond positively and enthusiastically and go the extra mile to exceed expectations, or be casual and coast along through life. All we need to do is get out of the 'anything goes' mindset, and start consistently delivering excellent performance, quality and timeliness. As Isaac Disraeli said, "It is a wretched taste to be gratified with mediocrity when the excellent lies before us."

Welcome to the 2009 Kenexa World Conference Website

We invite you to join us for the fourth annual Kenexa World Conference September 15 – 18, 2009. The theme of this year’s conference is Exceed. In a changing global environment, we must do more than meet expectations—we must exceed them. The 2009 Kenexa World Conference provides the opportunity and environment to discuss the ways that we can go beyond the traditional roles of HR—to surpass expectations and truly lead to impact business outcomes. Please join us for this thought-provoking learning experience.

About World Conference
The Kenexa World Conference is an exciting time for industry professionals to discuss and share innovative strategies that are changing the face of HR. Individuals attend the conference to debate, discuss and dialogue on facts, opinions and HR trends that inspire positive change and impact business outcomes within their companies. By exploring relevant topics in the HCM space, we support and advance the partnership between Kenexa and our clients. The Kenexa World Conference includes keynote presentations from leading industry professionals, break-out sessions and attendee-wide events each evening.

Keynote Presentations
Keynote presentations are an integral part of the Kenexa World Conference. In the past, notable organizational and HR leaders such as the Senior Vice President of HR for Tyco International; Global Head of Leadership Development and Training of Wholesale Banking for ING Group; Senior Vice President of HR for Avaya; and Director of Public Sector Executive Education, American University all addressed conference attendees and delivered inspiring presentations.

Break-Out Sessions
Break-out sessions allow attendees to dialogue and discuss varying topics that interest them in a smaller-group setting. They provide a more intimate setting to share important trends and topics that attendees can use in their own organizations.

Evening Events
During the evenings, Kenexa hosts engagement events that provide networking opportunities to conference attendees. Our evening events enhance the conference experience and promote personal learning opportunities and connections.
