2. SHRM presents Lionel Ritchie, Tuesday, 8:30 p.m. at the main conference location. You’re sure to be dancin’ on the ceiling, all night long (sorry, couldn’t resist).

4. Jobing’s party is at Chicago’s Navy Pier, Monday from 5-10 p.m., with food and cocktails. Stay until the end for a “big surprise.”

I actually would not mind hearing Lionel Richie. Endless Love is like my favorite song ever.

Is there not a sympathy party for Monster somewhere in Chicago?

Are all the parties being held by job boards? What about companies like Oracle, Success Factors, or any of the big RPOs or benefits providers?

The guy @ The Monster booth told his staff to tell people that they’re investing the money they would normally spend on a party and putting the investment back into SHRM. It’s party-all-the-time-party-all-the-time (my paraphrase) at the Monster booth.
