See You in Savannah for ASHHRA26
BY MARY PLATZ, ASHHRA SENIOR EDUCATION MANAGER
There is something special about this time of year, and for me, it is knowing that we will soon be gathering for one of my favorite ASHHRA events (in one of my favorite cities). I cannot wait to be in sunny Savannah with the ASHHRA membership for ASHHRA26 (May 17-19). Each year, the ASHHRA annual conference is an opportunity to step away, reconnect, and refocus, and this year’s experience is shaping up to be one of our best yet.
Learning, Connection, and Inspiration
ASHHRA26 unites healthcare HR professionals nationwide, offering opportunities to learn, share experiences, and grow together. Participants will gain access to healthcare HR-specific educational sessions, with the chance to earn up to 15 continuing education credits for ACHE, CHHR, HRCI, and SHRM certifications. Whether you're aiming to develop your expertise, explore innovative concepts, or network with peers who understand the unique aspects of healthcare HR, this conference is designed to deliver.
Explore the Exhibit Hall
A highlight each year is the Exhibit Hall, where sponsors and exhibitors present cutting-edge solutions tailored for healthcare HR professionals. From emerging technologies to workforce tools, the Exhibit Hall enables you to discover resources and partners that can drive positive change within your organization. It also offers the chance to engage directly with the experts behind these offerings.
If that isn’t enough to draw you in, the Exhibit Hall will be buzzing with fun activities! Look forward to rapid fire sessions, a lively happy hour, exciting prizes, games, delicious lunches, and even more ways to connect and unwind with fellow attendees.
A Note on This Year’s Keynotes
I am especially excited about this year’s keynote speakers. I’ve had the opportunity to connect with them personally, and I can confidently say you will not want to miss these main stage sessions. The ASHHRA26 keynote lineup brings timely topics, engaging perspectives, and powerful storytelling that will resonate deeply with today’s healthcare HR leaders.
University of Michigan’s Brian Uridge will open the conference with critical insights on creating a culture of safety and addressing workplace violence.
Mercedes Ramirez Johnson will close the conference with a powerful message centered on her story, filled with resilience, purpose, and perseverance.
Their sessions will challenge assumptions, spark meaningful dialogue, and leave you with takeaways you can bring back to your teams. Learn more about the keynote experience here.
