The choice of the theme of the conference was appropriate and the topics resonated well with the theme of the entire forum. The topics addressed the current HR challenges of the 21st century at the local, regional and global levels. I enjoyed the conference more because the speakers were of high standard. They were well versed with their topics and involved participants in their discussions.
