And just like that, SHRM 2018 has come to a close. The SHRM Annual Conference & Exposition was hosted in Chicago this year with more than 15,000 HR professionals from around the world in attendance, 200+ thought-provoking sessions, and four days of non-stop learning and networking. At TicketsatWork’s Booth #1806, we made fun our top priority. Conference-goers had the opportunity to learn more about our corporate rewards program and exclusive ticket offers, meet and greet Minions from Despicable Me, and win incredible raffle prizes! We loved every minute in the Windy City – but we’ve highlighted our top 5 favorite moments below.
1. The interactive booth
TicketsatWork’s interactive booth drew in the crowds at SHRM. Featuring a fun tunnel experience and a dazzling showcase of our top-selling products – including discount tickets to the best theme parks, hottest Broadway shows and iconic attractions – our team was there to provide demos of the products and help attendees learn about the unique benefit of joining TicketsatWork. It was great chatting with all those who stopped by and we look forward to seeing you next year!
2. The Minions: Dave and Jerry
Once again, Universal Orlando Resort™ characters were the main attraction at TicketsatWork’s booth. Attendees had the opportunity to say hello to Despicable Me Minions Dave and Jerry and even snap a photo with them! It’s always a pleasure to join forces with the world-class theme park at SHRM.
3. The amazing giveaways
Four lucky winners won big at this year’s SHRM. The prizes included a 4-day, 3-night getaway for two to Universal Orlando Resort™, airfare, lodging and 3-Day Park-to-Park admission passes to experience Universal Studios, Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Universal’s Volcano Bay.
4. The hottest party at SHRM: dinner, dancing – and the Sandwich King!
After a full day of SHRM, there’s nothing better than letting loose for an evening of food and fun to celebrate and thank our wonderful clients – and meet new ones. Held at the famous Willis Tower, our exclusive party featured celebrity chef and Food Network star Jeff Mauro, who entertained the crowds during his cooking presentation. His delicious pig candy BLT sandwich and inventive take on the Vietnamese sandwich were an absolute hit as appetizers. He mixed, mingled and took photos with guests throughout the evening. After dinner was served, it was off to the dance floor! Everyone was on their feet as a DJ spun move-worthy tunes. To cap off the evening, guests received private access to take a photo at the Skydeck, the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower, as well as fun gift bags, which included gift cards to TicketsatWork/Plum Benefits.
5. The stunning Chicago views
Our exclusive SHRM party offered breathtaking 360-degree views of Chicago from above. With exciting history, shopping, dining and entertainment, Chicago was the perfect backdrop for this year’s conference. We hope to see everyone for the 2019 SHRM Annual Conference in Las Vegas!
