We’ve launched a brand new look and feel to meet the demands of the industry!

Building on a foundation of ten great years of The Star HRDE, our highly successful human resources, training and education expo is GROWING and CHANGING to embrace new pillars of opportunity.

Through independent research, we asked our exhibitors and visitors for their views on the show and the feedback provided great insight into this critical sector. Ideas flowed to revamp and repackage the show to better serve the needs of the industry. It has motivated new thinking and ideas and The Star Human Resources Development Expo 2009 is the result.

The overwhelming majority of respondents are in favour of a show that includes all aspects of HR. This means that in addition to training and development, which has been the largest component of the exhibition, there will be additional elements such as recruitment, labour law, IT, payroll systems, pension funds, medical aid administration, coaching and mentoring and BEE to be included. These are all important aspects of HR, which we will endeavour to feature more prominently as The Star HRDE looks forward to the next 10 years.

A whole new experience for both exhibitors and visitors!
