Yes! This is one of the primary components we missed during the pandemic. Structured networking will be offered in the form of roundtable sessions, the Resource Partner Showcase, speed sharing, gamification, morning energizers, and accountability conversations. Many sessions will also have workshop components to encourage networking. Passive or self-initiated networking will be possible during mealtimes and breaks, in designated lounge spaces, and during extended passing periods between sessions.
If you are interested in helping to facilitate networking activities, please email [email protected]
SHRM-Atlanta will continue to monitor and update safety precautions for conference attendees. With trusted information from national, state, and local public health officials, we will email the SHRM-Atlanta community and SOAHR registrants with any health-related guidelines for the event.
Great question! Given all the changes with the global pandemic, we’re a little unsure how many people will join us this year. We anticipate anywhere between 600 and 800.
Yes, most sessions offer SHRM and HRCI credits. Some sessions may support recertification with other accrediting bodies. With the addition of the virtual conference and on-demand content, participants can access up to 26 recertification credits (additional fees apply for the “classroom shuttle”).
By using the mobile app to check in during a session, you will receive a notification of the credit codes before the session’s conclusion. Additionally, at the end of SOAHR, a personalized agenda will be provided denoting the credit codes for each session you denoted in the app as having attended.
If you want to facilitate a roundtable conversation or contribute content in another way at SOAHR 2023, please email [email protected]. The call for programs for SOAHR is now closed. To be added to our speaker database and receive future invitations to our call for proposals, please submit your information here.
Each proposal is first reviewed by 3-4 professionals in the field. Reviewers provide feedback in the form of comments that will help you strengthen your program. Final decisions are made by the conference leadership team (including the Events Committee and staff), taking into timeliness and relevance of the topic, applicability to various audiences and settings, creativity of the content or format, and practicality of the content in terms of practical takeaways and actionable ideas.
The virtual conference will *not* be held simultaneously with the in-person conference. Rather, it will be April 18-19, 2023. All two-day registrants of the in-person person SOAHR conference will automatically receive access to on-demand content and the virtual conference. Alternatively, a virtual-only registration option is available for those not able to join us in March.
You will receive a link to log into the virtual event platform. It is a new platform for SHRM-Atlanta, so you will need to create a password. After doing so, you can log into the SOAHR 2023 mobile app to connect with other conference participants. Content will be streamed April 18-19 via the platform.
You will be able to attend two new sessions live during the virtual conference, watch four additional hours or previously recorded content, and enjoy another 10 hours on-demand. Additionally, learn from peers’ examples, questions, and shared takeaways by participating in the two-day virtual conference.
