About LWHRA Symposium

Get Focused — Cut Out The Noise

Join us for the largest all-day event organized by our association, attracting more than 350 HR professionals. HR Professionals are working in the knowledge economy. We know that information is our most valuable commodity and in an era where we are being pulled in multiple directions, our goal at the 2019 Symposium is to "Get Focused and Cut Out the Noise" for one day and focus on your development.

These days, information is available in almost infinite abundance, delivered automatically to our electronic devices or accessible with a few clicks of the mouse. New research suggests that the surging volume of available information—and its interruption of people’s work—can adversely affect decision making, innovation, and productivity. At the 2019 Symposium, you will get the chance to slow down, focus on learning, meet industry leaders, and discover innovative products and services with our vendors and sponsors. 

NEW This Year!

• Lightning Talks: It’s like Tabata for the mind. These shorter, sequential presentations are based on a variety of topics and provide listeners with the chance to think critically and discover new skills.
• Different Format: This year's committee is committed to bringing relevant and unique educational sessions. In the spirit of this year's theme, we have decreased the number of concurrent breakout sessions and increased the number of general sessions . It is all about quality over quantity.
• Program-Free Lunch: We heard your feedback last year and we understand that lunch is a time for getting to know your peers, checking your email, or taking a mindful break to yourself. 
• Beverage Break: As the Symposium winds down, we will invite you to grab a beverage with your colleagues and take a seat for the last general session ""The 16 Elements of Engagement" with our final keynote Rusty Lindquist.
