CALL FOR FACILITATORS

Submission Deadline: June 22, 2026

HR Reset 2026 is a business-forward leadership experience to elevate how professionals—across HR disciplines and adjacent functions—show up as true business partners, regardless of role, title, or career stage. The conference balances learning, connection, reflection, and application to maintain energy and engagement throughout the day.

FACILITATION FORMATS

Conference attendees will be able to experience two distinct formats for concurrent sessions—Breakout Sessions and Learning Labs. Session topics have been selected by conference planning committee and are 60 minutes in length. Information on session types and facilitator requirements is provided below:

• Breakout Sessions: Conference attendees will apply business-focused thinking to common organizational and people-related challenges; translate their functional expertise into outcome-driven business priorities; and assess opportunities to increase strategic impact regardless of role, title, or career stage.

• Learning Labs: Conference attendees analyze real-world business and leadership challenges through guided, small group discussion and partnering; practice applying strategic thinking, communication, and collaboration techniques, and determine actionable insights they can implement in their respective workplaces.
