GENERAL INFORMATION
CONFERENCE TIPS
GET THE MOST OUT OF HR FLORIDA 2008
ATTEND ORIENTATION
If you are a first-time attendee or just want to learn how to maximize
your HR Florida 2008 experience, attend Conference Orientation on
Monday at 9:00 am in Wekiwa 3/4.
PLAN AHEAD
The conference program has a wealth of information to help you plan
your day. Read the program descriptions first thing each morning to
determine which sessions you want to attend.
TRACK YOUR CREDITS
HR Florida 2008 has been pre-approved for 13.25 HRCI Recertification
Credits. Use the Credit Tracker in your conference program to make
sure you earn them all.
GIVE YOURSELF TIME
The hotel has plenty of room which means it may take a few minutes
to get from one place to another. There is a minimum of fifteen
minutes between each session so use them wisely.
VISIT THE EXPO HALL
More than 170 vendors are assembled here with the latest products
and services to make your work life easier. Be sure to visit them
before the hall closes at 4:00 pm on Tuesday.
DRESS FOR SUCCESS
That means comfortable shoes and layers – with a sweater or light
jacket. It may be Florida outside but the meeting rooms may get a
little cool. Don’t forget Wednesday is Denim Day – your $5 donation
supports the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Visit the HR Florida booth
to learn more.
NETWORK WITH PEERS
There are plenty of opportunities to meet new people – the Grand
Opening Reception in the Expo Hall; breakfast, lunch, and breaks;
and Tuesday night’s 30th Anniversary Celebration. Be sure to take
advantage of all of them.
BUILD YOUR LIBRARY
Stop by the SHRM Bookstore in the Panzacola East Foyer. They carry
all the must-have publications. And don’t forget the book-signings
featuring some of your favorite presenters.

GENERAL INFORMATION
ROSEN HOTEL HELPS
HR FLORIDA GO GREEN
Rosen Shingle Creek has removed about 1,000 un-needed fluorescent light bulbs throughout the
hotel and they shut down the air conditioning in back-of-the-house areas when doors are open for
unloading. Tinting was added to all windows to cut heat from the sun and air conditioning costs.
While many hotels focus their green efforts on lighting, recycling can’t be ignored. Staff at Rosen
Shingle Creek recycles oils, newspapers and cardboard. They provide their oil from kitchen fryers
to a company which refines the oil and turns it into biodiesel fuel. A 55-gallon drum of biodiesel
per week likely will be enough to run its landscaping equipment.
The hotel uses low-flow toilets in all the guest rooms. They even have water-efficient laundry
machines. Sensor outdoor-lighting and programmable thermostats help with their energy-
saving initiatives.
For HR Florida 2008, the Rosen Shingle Creek has ordered recycle-specific receptacles for the
convention area. Be sure to look for them and do your part to help HR Florida GO GREEN!
