All this week in the Expo you can explore a wide range of solutions to boost and streamline operations offered by a host of the best vendors in the payroll industry. In addition, the Expo provides attendees with networking opportunities where meaningful connections are made and memorable moments abound, creating an empowering and unforgettable “multiplayer” experience.  

“I visited the different vendors to understand what they were offering based on our company’s needs,” Tiffany Woodard said during her time in the Expo in 2024. “What are they offering that can be beneficial to us? That’s what I was looking for.”  

 

Collect 1-Ups From Vendors 

When you visit with the exhibitors at the Expo, you can collect both real-life “loot” and discover and evaluate solutions that can transform your payroll operations.  

Attendees can look forward to free promotional items from vendors and have the chance to win more. Previous giveaways have included bags, branded apparel, eco-friendly water bottles, snacks, and more. Plan to visit every booth to collect them all and be sure to stick around on Thursday afternoon, May 15, for exhibitor prize drawings. 

More importantly this showcase gives you a chance to find out about cutting-edge technologies, tools, and resources in person from the people who know them best. Meet with vendor representatives for product demonstrations and learn about the latest the payroll industry has to offer.
