WORKSHOP / CONFERENCE INFORMATION

Representing over 1000 individual members, the HRABC Association is the Broward affiliate for the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM.) Founded in 1948, SHRM is the world’s largest association devoted to human resource management. The Society has more than 225,000 members and is the global voice of the profession.

The HRABC Association is a 100% volunteer entity whose primary objective is to support the mission and initiatives of SHRM through education. In addition to supporting its individual membership, HRABC acts as a resource for local human resource professionals and provides on-going general information and guidance. HRABC is a conduit for human resources professionals to network and share their knowledge with others from Broward and surrounding counties. 

Our annual conference is the preeminent event for human resources professionals in South Florida. Next year’s event promises to provide informational and educational opportunities of the highest quality to HR professionals.

• Over 15 Educational Sessions, including Keynotes and Strategic Series programs
• An Exhibition with over 30 exhibitors participating
• Attendance of over 260 human resources professionals
  

Concurrent Educational Sessions are scheduled for 60 minutes.

HRABC has a tradition of using educational conference sessions as a platform for innovation in the field of human resource management. We look for contributors who are willing to share their expertise without expectation of payment in the spirit of networking, a purpose for which HRABC was founded. We believe that the size and decision making authority of our audience provides an outstanding opportunity for speakers to increase their visibility and establish valuable contacts with a targeted HR audience.

HRABC strives to offer a balanced program by selecting proposals that best fit within the framework of the conference. The programs selected will be based upon the SHRM body of knowledge, the HR competency model, and major socioeconomic trends shaping the workplace.  Alternative views and counterpoint issues are welcome, particularly when lessons learned from first-hand experience are offered as models/examples.

Conference attendees will have access to all concurrent session presentations (via web.) If you wish to provide printed handouts, speakers are responsible for providing their own copies. While handouts to those attending your session are not required, a large majority of our speakers provide them and attendees greatly appreciate them.   If you are selected to present, we will provide you with information on where to ship your handouts prior to the conference if you wish to do so.
