Over the past two years we have had the opportunity to adapt and learn in new ways. At the CPHR Alberta Annual Conference, we will host one central event with two different, yet, connected experiences. CPHR Alberta will host its very first hybrid style annual conference.

The focus this year will be on current challenges faced by HR professionals amidst the new normal and how their HR strategy plays a crucial role in keeping employees informed, engaged and ready for the future.

We are looking for topic experts to give a 60-minute concurrent session to the HR professional within a variety of sectors at multiple levels.
