HR conferences get a bad rap – and for good reason. Boring venues, generic topics, limited professional development credits, the list goes on.

Workhuman Live takes a totally different approach. We turn our event spaces into vibrant, immersive hubs designed for optimal learning, networking, and personal growth. We thoughtfully curate our content to be relevant to your pain points, and hand-pick A-list speakers to deliver insights in entertaining, actionable ways – all while earning you the most credits of any conference.

So, yeah, technically it’s a “conference,” but past attendees know it’s more than that.

This is an in-person event only. Past attendees often rave about the event’s unrivaled networking, and we’ve found that the in-person format is the best way to deliver it.

Workhuman is celebrating its 10th anniversary milestone in 2025, and what a ride it’s been.

What started as a user conference in 2015 has blossomed into a movement – with thousands of the industry’s best and brightest descending upon various host cities across America to learn what’s possible in themselves, and their workplaces. Explore some of the most iconic moments from the past to find out what makes Workhuman Live extraordinary.

Oh great, now we’re getting emotional.

This conference is tailored to people leaders seeking inspiration and actionable strategies to implement immediately. Whether you’re in HR, executive management, middle management, or a culture creator, this conference was built for you.

While many attendees represent large companies, we’re not just about size – we’re about impact. Whether you’re part of a global enterprise or scrappy, growing organization, the experience is designed to resonate with all humans looking to shape the future of work.

You can score some major credits at Workhuman Live! Past attendees have gained more professional development credits that most other HR conferences. We’re currently collaborating with associations like World at Work, SHRM, HRPA, HRCI, and ATD to get you the maximum number of credits we can in 2025. We’ll fill you in when credits become solidified in early 2025!
