Halogen Software Inc., the leading provider of award-winning Web-based employee performance and talent management software today announced that its second annual User Conference was an overwhelming success with nearly 200 customers in attendance, double the attendance of its 2006 event.

The Conference sessions offered great value to all attendees from new to seasoned users, providing insight and practical how-to knowledge that will be taken back and used to immediately enhance the way organizations use Halogen’s software. Sessions ranged from how to increase HR’s strategic voice and gain greater credibility with executives, to adapting Halogen software to an organization’s changing needs.
"This has been a remarkable experience—unequaled by anything else I’ve attended in my 10-year career," said one Conference attendee. "I appreciate Halogen’s attention to detail and their efforts putting together such a well-rounded, practical and motivational conference."
The Halogen Software User Conference provided a forum for clients to share their perspectives on the challenges that face the HR community and how using Halogen solutions enables them to effectively address these challenges. As well, the Conference gave customers insight into Halogen’s product development road map for the immediate and longer term future.
"I can’t wait to be part of next year’s conference. As part of the client advisory board, I am impressed with how Halogen sincerely listens to its clients and actively integrates their suggestions into future versions of the software," said Tony Elliott, Ecology Manager with McStain Neighborhoods.
