(INDIANAPOLIS) — The Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s 57th Annual Indiana HR Conference and Expo will offer a variety of lessons and activities for human resources professionals. A new twist on the 2021 program is that it will be presented virtual and in-person to cater to the preferences of attendees.
The conference will include more than 30 educational sessions and workshops, an expo featuring top services and products, continuing education credits and access to industry leading and expert speakers.
“The hybrid format of this year’s HR Conference and Expo continues to keep the safety and convenience of our attendees front and center,” says Indiana Chamber President and CEO Kevin Brinegar. “The conference still will feature the same high-level HR content and professional instruction for which this event is known.”
The three-day program, sponsored by Frost Brown Todd, will take place June 7-9. The Indiana Chamber and The Westin Indianapolis, where the on-site event option is located, “will take every safety precaution recommended by the CDC and state and local officials,” Brinegar stresses. The morning general keynote presentation on June 8 highlights the volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) that exist in business. “Bring Your ‘A’ Game: Leadership and Engagement in a VUCA World” will be presented by Julius Rhodes, SPHR, the founder and principal of the mpr group in Chicago and author of the book and workbook, BRAND: YOU Personal Branding for Success in Life and Business. Andrea Butcher of HRD Advisory Group will be featured in the June 9 morning keynote tackling the topic of leadership strategies.
The 2021 Ogletree Deakins Human Resources Professional of the Year Award will also be presented during a luncheon awards presentation on June 9. All full-time HR practitioners in Indiana who have made significant contributions to their organizations through the past year were eligible for nomination. During the luncheon, Stephanie Smithey and Jim Plunkett of Ogletree Deakins will discuss, “The Biden Administration at 100 Days: What Is Next for Employers.”
Additional conference sponsors include UnitedHealthcare, UKG and Indiana University Health Plans.
Cost for the full three-day conference is $399 for Indiana Chamber members; $499 for non-members. Full price breakdowns and attendance options can be found at www.indianahrconf.com
