Meeting/Event Information
Bringing Aloha to SHRM26
The countdown is on for the 2026 SHRM Annual Conference, and we are excited to see Hawaiʻi well represented on the national stage! Whether you're attending for the first time or are a seasoned conference veteran, SHRM26 offers an unmatched opportunity to learn, connect, and bring new ideas back to your organization.
Stay Connected with Hawaii Attendees!
The learning at SHRM26 is invaluable, but the connections made throughout the conference are often just as impactful. To help our Hawaii delegation stay connected, SHRM Hawaii has planned several opportunities to connect before and during the conference.
🤙 SHRM26 Shaka Squad (WhatsApp Channel)
Join our dedicated WhatsApp channel to stay connected with fellow Hawaii attendees. This will be the primary place for meetup details, reminders, conference tips, recommendations, and real-time updates throughout the week. Be sure to join now so you don't miss a thing!
🌴 Hawaii Attendee Identifier
Show your aloha spirit throughout SHRM26! We'll be providing a special Hawaii identifier to help attendees recognize one another at conference events, educational sessions, and throughout the convention center. When you spot a fellow Hawaii attendee, throw a shaka, say hello, and help strengthen our island HR network. More updates will be shared in the SHRM26 Shaka Squad WhatsApp!
🤝 Pacific West Region Connections Meet Up
Join fellow attendees from Hawaii and across the Pacific West Region for a relaxed networking lunch on Thursday, June 18, where you can exchange ideas, expand your network, and make meaningful connections beyond the conference sessions. This is a great opportunity to connect with HR professionals from Alaska, California, Guam/CNMI, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming while representing Hawaii's HR community on a broader stage. Grab your lunch and stop by Rooms 240AB & 240CD on the Expo Level to meet up with us. See attached flyer.
Mahalo to Atlas Insurance for helping us share a little aloha with our Pacific West colleagues by providing treats at the meet up!
