Join us for the 23rd annual Delaware SHRM Conference and Expo at the Chase Center in Wilmington, Delaware, on November 14 – 15, 2023. Over 300 HR professionals, vendors, and speakers will attend this year’s conference. 

Our theme this year is “Leading HR in a Boundaryless World.”  Human Resources practices have evolved from formal authority and hierarchy to insights, personal accountability, connection to values, and action. In a boundaryless world, our success will be less dependent on defining the solution and more dependent on creating healthy and supportive environments while mobilizing employees to experiment and adapt, quickly absorbing and learning from new information. Our goal is to provide attendees with an opportunity to explore the possibilities a boundaryless world can create for you as a HR professional, for your organization, and for society at large as we continue to build a more equitable and human future.

What to Expect: 

This year's conference will bring you exciting new sessions and learning opportunities, including a Lunch Program that will recognize innovative HR practices from colleagues in the room and an Expert Legal Panel that will inform you of the latest HR Law. You will benefit from thought-provoking speakers who will challenge your perspectives and ignite your passion for HR excellence. In-depth workshops and breakout sessions will sharpen your skills and embrace innovative strategies.
