Specifically designed for a booming region with growing human resource needs, the ‘Kingdom HR Gathering and Awards Summit’ will take place from December 15th – 16th, 2009 at the Holiday Inn in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

A major feature of the summit is the inaugural Kingdom Human Resource Excellence Awards, a naseba initiative sponsored by Monster.com, the premier global online employment solution.
The awards recognise those organisations and individuals who have demonstrated excellence in both HR functions and practices. The vision of both the awards and the event is to bring the entire HR community from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under one single platform.
