Do you have regular meetings?

Philly SHRM does host a variety of events throughout the year– all allowing time for networking, learning and connecting with members, guests and our industry leaders from the Philadelphia area. There are membership appreciation events throughout the year, quarterly micro learning webcasts, quarterly workshops, Emerging Leaders events, our annual Symposium and so much more – we urge everyone to get involved by attending these events. Please click here for our event calendar and secure your registration.

Are non-members allowed to attend events?

Yes, non-members are welcome (and extremely urged) to attend any Philly SHRM event. Non-members do pay a higher registration fee than our members. Please remember, Philly SHRM is free to designate to if you are already a SHRM national member.

I’m trying to register for an event, and the only option I am being given is the non-member pricing, but I’m a member. What can I do?

If you are a member of SHRM National but have not designated to the Philadelphia chapter, you must do that to receive member pricing along with all the chapter’s benefits. Please click here for instructions on how to designate to Philly SHRM. If you believe you are already designated to Philly SHRM, please email info@phillyshrm.org with your full name, email, phone number, and SHRM ID number. We are happy to assist you as this can often be confusing.

Where can I obtain a receipt for my registration to a Philly SHRM event?

After you registered for the event, a receipt was automatically sent to you. Please reference the confirmation email that you received to obtain the payment confirmation information. If you cannot locate your confirmation email, please contact us at info@phillyshrm.org.

I’m interested in speaking at a Philadelphia SHRM event. Who do I contact with to find out more details?

We welcome all potential speakers to our chapter, but please keep in mind our programs are typically planned a year in advance. Our call for speakers goes out in May, and applications are accepted during that time frame. Be assured submissions will be reviewed in a timely manner. Please note, due to our non-profit status, there is very limited (if any) compensation for speaking. If you have any questions email us at info@phillyshrm.org.

I registered for an event but I no longer can attend. May I request a refund?

We do not give refunds after a registration has been submitted and processed for an event. However, we do have the opportunity for the registrant to transfer his/her registration to someone else, or apply it to a future event within the calendar year of September through June.

Are webinars offered recorded, and, if so, how are they obtained?
