HR Conference 2021
Welcome!
On behalf of the Ohio SHRM State Council and the Ohio HR Conference Committee - you are invited to Refresh and Refocus - the 2021 Ohio HR Conference.
NEW THIS YEAR! We're offering one of TWO options for conference - goers this year:
Onsite or Virtual! Your choice!
We'll be holding the conference at the Greater Columbus Convention Center from August 25-27, 2021 for two and a half days of superior programming in a great (onsite!) venue. Onsite attendees will enjoy the conference at the Convention Center and will have the option to obtain additional recertification credits via the ON DEMAND platform. The ON DEMAND option will be available for up to 90 days after the conference ends.
Virtual attendees will have the option to view sessions during the conference and obtain additional recertification credits via the ON DEMAND platform. The ON DEMAND option will be available for up to 90 days after the conference ends.
Unsure about onsite or virtual? We'll ask that you select one of these options at registration BUT you will have until July 15, 2021 to change your mind.
Our programs committee is hard at work putting together a program that will expand your HR Knowledge, provide networking opportunities, and earn recertification credits. We'll introduce our speakers as they are confirmed.

BRIAN WAGNER
An inspirational speaker, Brian Wagner is also the author of the book Sometimes It DOES Take a Brain Surgeon and CEO of A Radical Vision. He was in technology sales when his whole world came to a screeching halt! On March 4, 2011, Brian woke up in total darkness due to a genetic defect that caused him to have physical blindness for six months. Days later he had brain surgery in Phoenix, Arizona. During his time of total reliance on others, Brian swore that if he could get his sight back he would help others that are struggling in their own way. While he stills deals with partial blindness, Brian keeps the promise that he made to help others. As he puts it, "I lost my sight and ended up with vision."
