NEW YORK, April 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Uncubed's annual HR leadership conference returns with a high-profile, diverse lineup of content, a new location, and additional professional development accreditation.

"Our speakers will come from the full spectrum of organizations," said Pertew, emphasizing the educational, networking, and takeaway-rich value for attendees, which include talent leaders at tech startups, non-profits, publishers, and the Fortune 500. "We think it's one of the things that makes our content so applicable to so many HR and talent professionals."
Uncubed is projecting 50% growth in attendance over the 2018 conference, continuing HR Uncubed's ascent as a must-attend HR leadership conference both in New York and in the US.
