At HRM Summit, we inform, inspire, and connect people who love HR. If you’re a thought leader, share our goal and would like to speak at #HRMSUMMIT, we would love to hear from you. This year's Conference is pure HR. We are passionate about providing a platform for new ideas and disruptive minds.

A talk at the HRM Summit isn’t just a story or a list of facts. It involves insightful observations and an exciting conclusion about the future of HR. This could be: a compelling story, a conceptual “how to”, a presentation on a pressing industry issue or an interactive educational discussion in a small setting. HRM Summit Conference is known for being daring, bold, and supportive of new and disruptive minds.
