Has anyone gone to SHRM conferences? And is anyone headed to the one in New Orleans this June? What have your experiences been and is it worth the money? I’m considering it to expand beyond the talent acquisition realm and also to get back into some in-person networking but afraid it’ll be a waste of time and money.

I have been to 3 SHRM annual conferences. 2
In-person: 1 in New Orleans back in 2017 and the other in Las Vegas in 2019. I also attended last year’s, virtually. I have always enjoyed going to the conferences. SHRM spends a good chunk of change to make sure it’s a well produced event. Some of the material can be fluffy but I leave feeling re-energized and with a few key ideas to implement in my workplace. If you’ve never been, I recommend. I’m sitting this year’s conference out because I didn’t really enjoy NOLA. Also, SHRM tends to recycle some of their breakout speakers which I’m fortunate to see locally or virtually.
