This year’s tradeshow season has come to a close with a successful show at the SHRM Annual in New Orleans.

The SHRM brought in an estimated 8,000 attendees to the show which was very good considering the challenging economic times. Although the attendance was down from last year, we met some great people from all over the US and Canada looking to automate their workforce management processes.

Our booth was tucked away in the middle of the show, but was nice because we had the chance to spend some time with each and every person that stopped by.

See you next year in San Diego!

TimeTECH is back from Victoria BC’s Canadian Payroll Association tradeshow and conference. This year’s show was by far the best yet. In fact, it was probably the best show that we have done in the last couple of years!

Although we didn’t get a lot of free time to check out the beautiful sights of Victoria, we managed to eat at some of the nicer places downtown during the evenings, and at lunch! I’d love to go back and see the rest of the City!

We heard a lot of positive feedback during the show with regards to the organization and quality of the speakers, learning sessions and tradeshow exhibitors! This was great! The CPA definitely hit the nail on the head with this year’s show. Congratulations guys!

We are now counting down the days until our last tradeshow of the 2009 tradeshow season…The SHRM Annual conference in New Orleans LA. The SHRM show is the largest of all of the tradeshows we exhibit in and we’re definitely looking forward to the end of the month when we go. (I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures!)

Enjoy the pictures below from Victoria. (I don’t have any pictures inside the show as I forgot my camera during the show hours!)

TimeTECH is hopping on another plane to attend the CPA (Canadian Payroll Association) Annual Conference and Exposition in Victoria British Columbia. We will be showcasing our time and attendance and workforce management software solutions to organizations of all sizes and industries.

We attended the show last year in Montreal and received a lot of great feedback and spoke to many great companies across Canada. We hope to run into them again this year, and see some new faces!

The CPA Conference and Tradeshow is an annual event for:

• New and experience Payroll, HR, and IT professionals
• Specialists from related fields, such as finance and accounting
• Consultants, trainers, business owners and other individuals with a functional responsibility for payroll.

If you’d like to attend the tradeshow portion of the show on June 10^th, you can contact us for a complimentary floor pass which will give you access to all the vendor’s displays.

See you at the show!

Well, the countdown is on! Only a few more days until the 2009 APA Annual Congress in Long Beach California!

TimeTECH will be exhibiting at the tradeshow portion of Congress at booth number 435. Last year Congress was held in Austin Texas where we made our first APA appearance as an exhibitor. The show was so successful, we decided to participate again. Last year we met thousands of HR and Payroll professionals interested in workforce management software, time and attendance, absence planning, benefit accruals, vacation planning and more!

We were shocked at how many large organizations across North America are still processing their time and attendance and other workforce management practices manually! They were all impressed by the amount of time and money their organization could saving by integrating TimeTECH’s workforce management solutions. Most companies see anywhere from 1-3% of their annual payroll back in savings.

Where do the savings come from?

• Eliminating buddy punching
• Time fraud
• Manual processing time
• Processing errors
• Rounding of hours
• Time spent processing pay rules
• Eliminating spreadsheets!
• And more!

If your company is attending the APA Congress in Long Beach, feel free to stop by our booth during the tradeshow hours to say hello! You can find us at booth 435.
