Singapore HR Congress & Business-Connect Exposition 2009
“Building Capabilities for Organisations and Businesses”

“A strong and capable HR community can be the catalyst and change agents to initiate and implement people development efforts in organisations, and help build stronger capabilities amongst our business leaders and managers.”

PM Lee Hsien Loong
11th World HR Congress 2006 organised by SHRI

The Singapore HR Congress & Business Connect Exposition 2009 was held on 14-15 April at the Raffles City Convention Centre. The Annual Singapore HR Congress provides the platform for business and HR Communities to meet annually to find breakthroughs in people management and concepts, programmes and practices. The two-day HR Congress attracted some 1000 delegates from the Singapore HR Community and other parts of the world. 30 exhibitors also took the chance to present to the delegates their latest and most innovative HR Solutions.

The Guest-of-Honour for Singapore HR Congress & Business-Connect Exposition 2009 was Mr Gan Kim Yong, Minister for Manpower.
