Philly SHRM held its 12th Annual Symposium on March 22, 2023 at the Sheraton Downtown Philadelphia, and what a day it was! Attendance was close to pre-pandemic numbers, and attendees were thrilled for the chance to connect again in-person! The event included an inspiring keynote presentation from local CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters, Marcus Allen, and a motivational closing session from Andre Young. Plus there were additional 9 breakout sessions, a dynamic CHRO panel, and our Emerging Leaders Networking happy hour. Exhibitor tables lined the ballroom foyer allowing attendees to network with sponsors and colleagues alike. Plus, we brought back our widely popular exhibitor BINGO cards for some intense competition!

We’d like to thank all of our attendees for making the effort to join us for this full day conference – we know it’s not always easy to get out the door and ready to network by 8am, so thank you! Another big thank you to our inspiring speakers for taking the time out of their busy schedules to share their knowledge with us.  A HUGE thank you to our Symposium sponsors, along with our chapter sponsors – this event and all the great work our chapter does is not possible without your support. Thank you to the committee members who worked diligently behind the scenes to make the event come to fruition – you are each so valued. Lastly, thank you to the board members who have helped the plan the entire event for months – we hope you celebrated at the post-Symposium happy hour!

We look forward to seeing you at next year’s conference!

Sincerely,
Philly SHRM
