Over two days, the HROA will officially welcome the HRO Buyers Group into the HROA, hold Buyers Group meetings for incoming and established buy-side communities, host an Awards Dinner and Gala, offer challenging Thought Leadership Presentations, and introduce an exciting new Community experience session. Formal meetings of the Global, North American and RPO Alliance SIG Boards will be held on either side of the main events, making this a truly diverse program with appeal for everyone involved in HRO.

HROA Awards Gala

Wednesday Evening

HROA Networking and Community Event
Thursday morning

BeEmpowered as HROA Buyers Groups meet on the first afternoon to learn more about the benefits of membership in the HROA for buyers, and to launch the formation of a new Global HROA Buyers Special Interest Group (SIG).  The sessions will discuss opportunities for global co-ordination and liaison with local Buyers Group activities across all areas of the Association, including the RPO Buyers Group and the HROA Europe Buyers Group, as well as other HROA Special Interest Groups (SIGs), Chapters, and Committees.

The afternoon’s agenda will also include a Guest Speaker and the usual HROA Buyers Group discussion forum where a topical issue is shared and discussed by the Buyer-only audience. The group will also pose a series of questions that will be worked-through in the networking session the following day.

This is a unique opportunity for many of the leading minds of HRO, RPO, Learning and Payroll to come together in a Buyers-only forum, and to meet new peers in advance of the Awards Gala and the Networking event on the Thursday morning.
