A strong crowd has turned out for the opening sessions of HR Festival Asia in Singapore this morning.

With a record number of delegates registered across the six streams, and a sold-out, 1200 square-metre exhibition, the HR leaders and business professionals continue to stream into the event at Suntec Singapore Convention Centre.

The keynote presenters already sharing their thoughts and insights include Paul Cobban, the Chief Data and Transformation Officer of DBS Bank, Dr Frederik G Pferdt, the Chief Innovation Evangelist for Google, and Jeanne Achille, Founder and CEO of the Devon Group in the US.

Singapore’s Minister of State for Manpower and National Development Zaqy Mohamad (pictured) has also helped to open the event, delivering a keynote address as Guest of Honour. He later toured the Expo area, checking out the latest products and services from some of the 100 exhibitors present on site.

Registration for the expo is free from today, with walk-in guests from the HR community welcome throughout the two-day event. Simply head to the fourth floor of Suntec Singapore Exhibition and Convention Centre to join in the biggest HR and technology event yourself!
