Speak Up HR
Have an idea or workplace hot take that’s worth sharing?
Speak Up HR is a new event designed to give HR professionals a platform to share real experiences, fresh perspectives, and thought-provoking ideas with their peers.
Choose how you’d like to submit
We know everyone communicates differently, so you can submit your proposal in the format that works best for you:
- Video proposal: Submit a short video introducing yourself, your topic, and how you would bring your idea to life on stage.
- Written proposal: Complete our short submission form outlining your topic, key message, and what you’d like the audience to take away.
You don’t need speaking experience, a polished presentation, or a slide deck.
What we’re looking for is authenticity, insight, and a perspective that will leave the audience thinking long after the conversation ends.
This is your opportunity to step onto the stage, share your voice, and contribute to the conversations shaping our profession.
Why apply?
- Share your experience with your member community
- Build your professional profile and confidence as a speaker
- Inspire peers through real-world lessons and practical insights
- Connect with your local HR community in person and in a meaningful way
