Annual Conference

 
Thank you for responding to our Call for Presentations! We are delighted that you are interested in educating our attendees and contributing to this year's theme of Leadership Reimagined: Empowering People, Driving Change. We are currently accepting applications for Keynote and Breakout presentations for educational themes around the use of AI/ChatGPT, mentoring the next generation of HR professionals, HR wellness, and others.

Presentations are selected based on the following criteria:
  • Ability for the presenter to engage and inspire conference attendees
  • Appeal to a diverse and broad spectrum of attendees
  • Build leadership capabilities
  • Provide content that attendees can apply in their workplace

All presentations will be submitted to HRCI and SHRM for re-certification credit.

If selected as a Speaker, I understand that:
  • The PA SHRM Annual Conference Committee has final determination of the format and length of my session.
  • I am responsible for adhering to the Call for Presentations deadlines and the guidelines for submission outlined in this document. If I fail to do so, the PA SHRM Annual Conference Committee reserves the right to remove my session from the conference program.
  • All documents must be submitted with this application. Partial applications will not be accepted or reviewed. 
  • Request for additional information will be sent via email to applicants as needed by the speaker review committee.
  • I am responsible for submitting presentation materials and handouts prior to the conference for inclusion on the PA SHRM Annual Conference Web site. All presentation materials (such as handouts or PowerPoint slides) are due August 21, 2026.
  • PA SHRM will not produce any handouts onsite. I am responsible for preparing handout material for my session attendees should I wish to do so. Please note: All Conference Materials will be provided on a registrant web site two weeks prior to the conference for the attendees to download.
  • As PA SHRM programs are noncommercial forums, the direct promotion of products and services is prohibited.
  • Portions of the session may be videoed or audio taped for marketing and promotional purposes for future conferences.
  • I am responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce my handouts if copyrighted by an organization other than PA SHRM.
  • I must refrain from overt statements, harsh language, or pointed humor that disparages the rightful dignity and social equity of any individual or group.
