As we step into a new year filled with opportunity, the PA Chamber is excited to bring our small business community two high-impact events designed to inform, inspire, and strengthen the leaders powering Pennsylvania’s economy.
Sharpen Your Strategy at the 2026 HR Conference
Thursday, March 5, 2026 · 8:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.
Sheraton Harrisburg-Hershey, Harrisburg, PA
For employers across industries, including small businesses navigating constant workforce change, the PA Chamber’s HR Conference remains the state’s premier gathering for human resources insights and continuing education. This year’s agenda brings together policy setters, workforce innovators, and HR professionals from across the Commonwealth for a day packed with practical learning and real‑world solutions.
An agenda highlight is an exclusive, workforce-focused fireside chat with Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry Secretary Nancy Walker, who will share perspectives on statewide workforce needs, regulatory developments, and opportunities for employer engagement.
The full agenda is built to help HR leaders stay ahead of the curve, with the latest policy updates, the hottest HR topics, and the much-loved “mock debate” where our experts offer their take on real workplace challenges.
Registration and full agenda details are available here – and a special thank you to our Exclusive Presenting Sponsor, Duane Morris Institute, for supporting this important day of learning and leadership.
