2026 WI SHRM Workplace Policy Conference Registration is Open!

Join us for Wisconsin SHRM’s 1.25-day Workplace Policy Conference, where HR professionals, business leaders, and industry partners unite to explore the future of workplace governance and public policy to honor past successes while driving the meaningful change needed to stay ahead of evolving workplace trends. This year’s event features dynamic keynotes, interactive workshop sessions, and a robust vendor and networking fair—connecting attendees with innovative partners and solutions that support compliant, agile, and future-ready workplaces.
As talent pools shrink and the importance of shaping the future of work expands, organizations must remain flexible and responsive to evolving workforce dynamics. Workplace policies must adapt to meet talent where they are—across both traditional and nontraditional employment models—while upholding clarity, consistency, and compliance.
Attendees will gain firsthand insights into the legislative and regulatory issues shaping the HR landscape and build lasting connections with peers and solution providers. Whether you’re an HR leader, business partner, or public affairs professional, this conference delivers the tools, insights, and advocacy perspectives you need to champion effective workplace policies and make your voice heard in the evolving world of work.
Sessions have been approved for 7.0 SHRM recertification credits.
