If educational sessions help you thrive in the practicals of your current position, the social experiences and networking at CAHR18 help you thrive in the longevity of your career no matter where it takes you. After all, it’s our peers who help us remember what we love and value about HR, help us troubleshoot issues specific to our industry and bounce ideas off each other, and help us secure our next position when the time is right.

CAHR18 social events provide the moments when you might meet a mentee you can invest in, or a mentor who can guide you. Between sitting next to someone in a session, to getting to know someone new over lunch, or joining a group for Meet to Eat on Monday night, don’t miss this opportunity to build your network and meet the individuals who can create a meaningful impact in your professional life.

Coaching & Solutions

Is your career in need of some personal attention? Perhaps you’re not sure how to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Sign up for a coaching session with the HR Coaching Institute, available as an add-on to your registration. You’ll gain tailored insight for your current stage and next steps from experienced professionals. Find your blind spots, and leave refreshed and ready to hit your next growth edge.

During breaks between concurrent sessions, don’t miss the Solutions Stages in the Marketplace. This year’s stage will include TED Talk-style sessions related to career development. While you’re in the Marketplace, you’ll find value in browsing providers and exhibitors who might have a brilliant solution for you to solve tactical issues. That solution could free up your time to better position HR in your organization and contribute more to the bottom line. 

Earn & Recertify HR Certification

Everyone who earns their HR certification understands the value it has in their career. It’s a badge of honor showing your hard work and commitment to the profession – but maintaining your credential is also an ongoing responsibility to hone your craft, and an advantage that not only helps you stay competitive in the field, but more importantly stay compliant and equipped to lead your organization into the future of HR.

If you haven’t yet earned an HR credential, sign up for an exam preparation course as a pre-conference session.

For the already-certified, earning your recertification credits is arguably one of the most important aspects of the conference! At CAHR18 you will earn a sizable chunk of your ongoing HRCI, SHRM, MCLE recertification credits. Have a specialty HRCI certification?

How to Recertify at the California HR Conference

To earn your recertifications, be sure to keep track of which sessions you attend in your printed Conference Guide. After the conference, you will enter the Conference ID number (listed in your printed Conference Guide) as well as enter the sessions into your online certification account. For HR (General) credit, the ID number will be sufficient. For specialty certifications (SPHR, PHRca, GPHR), you will need to enter each session title you attended that qualifies for that certification. In short: guard your Conference Guide with your life until you log your credits!
