HR Conference & Expo


The HR Conference & Expo is an in-person event organized by CPHR BC & Yukon that takes place annually in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

With approximately 1,400 in attendance in 2025, this is the largest HR event in Western Canada. Attendees can look forward to keynote presentations, breakout sessions, and workshops from speakers and facilitators who are experts in their fields, as well as exhibitors showcasing products and services that are highly relevant to the HR profession. Networking opportunities are carefully curated throughout the event between scheduled sessions, during meals, and at a dinner soiree — all set against beautiful backdrops that encourage conversations. On-demand recordings are also available for those that are unable to attend in-person.
