Human Resources – Return on
Investment (HR-ROI) Conference:
Maximizing the Impact of Human
Resources on the Bottom Line
The alumni of the industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology
doctoral program at the University of South Florida are proud to announce their
latest conference—HR-ROI. This conference will bring together experts from

developments in how Human Resources can contribute to the overall performance
of an organization. This one day conference is open to the public, and is
targeted to I/O psychologists, HR and training managers and professionals, and
others who work in related areas. Proceeds go to supporting the USF I/O
psychology doctoral program.

The Area
Tampa is located on Florida’s west coast. The weather in January
can be cool, but will most days allow outside activities. The area has many
attractions, including the Florida Aquarium, numerous museums, Lowry Park Zoo,
the Gulf of Mexico beaches, parks, and shopping. Busch Gardens, a 300-acre
animal and adventure theme park about a mile from the USF campus, is among the
most popular tourist stops in Florida. The Embassy Suites is conveniently
located on the south side of the USF Tampa campus, along Fowler Avenue.
Numerous restaurants are within 5 a five minute drive from campus, as well as
the University Square shopping mall which is across the street. The Gulf Coast
beach resorts are less than an hour's drive, and the Orlando/Disney resort area
is a little over an hour's drive.
Vendor Tables
We have a limited number of vendor tables available. They
will be centrally located outside the main conference rooms, and two vendor
breaks are scheduled during the day. For information and to make arrangements
