Human resources conferences and events have previously served as a fruitful method for human resources professionals to learn about new resources, network with other professionals, and increase their knowledge base. Due to the pandemic, professionals in all industries have been unable to attend such events, which has stunted the professional development and growth of many.
Fortunately, events are making a comeback this fall with opportunities to attend both in-person and virtually. Below are a few notable conferences happening this fall:
