The HRO Today Forum is the only global event series for HR executives

Join us in San Antonio, Texas, April 30 – May 2 at the 2025 HRO Today Forum North America.

Our event theme for 2025 is TALENT, TECH, AND TOMORROW. As HR leaders step into a new year, the challenges of finding top talent, engaging teams, and integrating AI-driven technology have never been more urgent—or more exciting. We’ll cover it all from April 30 – May 2 at the
JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa.

The HRO Today Forum annually brings together HR leaders, practitioners, technology experts, and innovators who are building the workforces and setting the policies that will be the future of North American and global business.

Our 2025 Forum North America will be the event of the year for HR leaders, featuring:

  • The world’s largest HR Think Tanks
  • A diverse program of sessions and panels on key topics such as AI, talent acquisition, employee engagement and retention, diversity and inclusion, and more.
  • Numerous networking opportunities for HR leaders and sponsors
  • The announcement of the MSP Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Ratings.

Of course, the highlight of the event will be the annual CHRO of the Year Awards Gala and Dinner, where we celebrate innovators and trailblazers in HR leadership.
