• Networking

Meet people! This is networking in its truest form! HR professionals from many industries, over 180 employers and 20+ communities in Alaska! You communicate with people daily via social media. You see some of your colleagues every once in a while at your monthly chapter programs. But this is THE conference where you can actually meet these people in real life, put a face to the name, and build relationships.

• Exhibit Hall

Talk with vendors! We all are using vendors to help run our business, so this is a great time to see what’s new, talk, and connect with new vendors.

• Inspire

Be inspired and challenged to think differently, to expand your knowledge base and soak in the positive energy from others that love the profession as much as you do!

• Lead

Get back to work ready to apply what you have learned, motivated, inspired and ready to lead!

• BUDGET REMINDER

   Regardless of when your budget cycle is, remember to allocate a budget line for your attendance to the 2018 Alaska State HR Conference.

• How to Convince Your Supervisor

We know YOU are convinced, but you still have to convince your supervisor. Some tips:

• Reduced to No Travel Costs

Depending on where you are in Alaska, the travel costs are negligent when compared to attending a conference out of state. And if you are in or around Anchorage, there are no travel costs! If you are coming from outside Anchorage, offer to share a room with a  colleague to reduce expenses

• Register Early

The earlier you register, the more opportunities to save your company money.

• Benefit to the Organization

Focus on the specific information that you will be able to bring back to your organization.

• Share What You Learned

Offer to prepare and deliver a presentation for your colleagues to share what you learned and the resources you have discovered. Therefore, others will get the benefits of your attendance as well.

• Recertification

If you need Recertification Credits, remind your supervisor the Alaska SHRM State Council Conference is a great way to earn HRCI and SHRM credits. 

• Coverage While Away

Explain what your plans are regarding how your projects/tasks will be taken care of while you are away.
