The annual conference

One day that sets the tone for the year.

The annual conference is where the whole calendar comes together: the sessions, the speakers and the full HR Horizons community in a single room in Chicago.

  • Programming for where you are

    Sessions pitched for HR professionals stepping into leadership and for those already setting the agenda.

  • A room worth the day

    Peers from across industries and functions, working on the same problems you are.

  • Notes you can use on Monday

    Leave with practical takeaways, new contacts and the rest of the year's calendar in view.
