HRPA Conference & Trade Show 2019

Welcome to HRPA’s 2019
Annual Conference & Trade Show

HRPA’s 2019 Annual Conference & Trade Show is the world’s second largest Human Resources conference, attracting HR and business professionals from across Canada and around the globe. This three-day event — January 30 to February 1, 2019 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, South Building — features world-renowned keynote speakers, 160+ HR professional development sessions, networking events and more than 250 exhibitors showcasing the latest HR products and services.

Positive climate change at work

The HRPA 2019 Annual Conference and Trade Show explores Work Climate – the shared perceptions, mood, and attitudes about an organization. Distinct from work culture, work climate addresses the organization members’ experience. In an environment that’s increasingly driven by automation and a diverse workforce, how do we create positive work climates that enable people’s potential to thrive while improving business value?

Learn how to help your organization cultivate an optimal work climate to achieve productivity, innovation, inclusion, and high performance.
