Milestone Conference Connects Professionals, Engages Clients for First-Hand Product Feedback
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Oct. 10, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paylocity Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: ), a leading cloud-based provider of solutions, announced today several highlights of its 10th annual client conference, Elevate 2018, held October 3 – 5 at the Sheraton Grand hotel in Chicago.
The three-day conference hosted a record number of attendees who gathered to discuss industry trends with leaders and influencers, expand their product knowledge and skills through interactive sessions, connect with like-minded peers, and offer first-hand feedback for existing and future product features.
“We are so grateful for this opportunity to bring our clients together every year, learn from each other, and explore ways to continue innovating in the areas of payroll and human capital management,” said Steve Beauchamp, Chief Executive Officer at Paylocity. “Last week’s milestone conference was truly a celebration of the success our clients have experienced over the past year.”

Beauchamp kicked off the conference at Thursday morning’s general sessions, along with SVP of Operations Mark Kinsey and SVP of Product & Technology Ted Gaty, who welcomed clients and announced a number of product features now or soon to be available.

Paylocity’s Product & Technology team was onsite at Connection Zone, where clients got acquainted with all the new and existing features in the Paylocity product suite, test drove the latest functionality, and provided our technologists with feedback on our innovations. Across the exhibition hall, clients checked in at Ask the Expert, where they had the chance to meet one-on-one with technical experts, ask account-specific questions, and better understand their unique opportunities and challenges.
“Paylocity continually works with our co-creators — our clients — to collect product feedback and develop new solutions based on what they need to do their jobs more successfully,” said Gaty. “We are pleased to have Elevate Conference, and its Connection Zone, as a platform to not only announce some of our newest offerings, but also gain valuable feedback from our power users.”
Breakout Sessions Educate, Conference Headliners Inspire
Elevate 2018 featured three keynote speakers and more than 70 breakout sessions focused on workforce and talent management, professional development, the employee experience, and more — and how Paylocity’s solutions can help clients reach a new level in these areas of their organization.
Joining Paylocity for the opening keynote was Cy Wakeman, a drama researcher, global thought leader, and New York Times best-selling author. Recognized for cultivating a counter-intuitive, reality-based approach to leadership, Wakeman challenged Elevate 2018 attendees to engage their teams and identify means for improvement, while eliminating unnecessary and counter-productive drama.
Employee engagement expert Jason Lauritsen continued motivating attendees with his keynote on Friday. Often described as a “corporate executive gone rogue,” Lauritsen encouraged attendees to view work relationships less like contracts and more like personal relationships — focused around appreciation, acceptance, communication, support, and commitment.
Following Lauritsen’s keynote, Cheryl Johnson, Paylocity’s new Chief Human Resources Officer, closed the conference with a session on how to engage the modern employee by building loyalty, listening to employee feedback, nurturing a community feel, and giving employees what they value.
