Tune In Tuesday Announcement

Former Netflix CTO, Patty McCord, to Headline SHRM21’s First “Tune in Tuesdays” Episode on July 14

June 9, 2020 – A brand-new digital series, “Tune in Tuesdays”—brought to you by SHRM21—launches July 14, 2020 with former Chief Talent Officer at Netflix, Patty McCord. “Tune in Tuesdays” are interactive episodes that will air on annual.shrm.org the second Tuesday of each month leading up to the SHRM Annual Conference & Expo (SHRM21) in June 2021.

Going beyond a typical webinar or virtual event, Tune in Tuesdays will take learning and connecting to the next level. Each episode will cover topics one might expect to see on the stages of SHRM’s signature event all while providing the opportunity to network with peers and contribute to the conversation in real time.

To kick off the new digital series, episode one will feature a lively discussion between Patty and SHRM President and CEO, Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., SHRM-SCP about how to build a culture of freedom and responsibility. As a workplace innovator and culture and leadership consultant, Patty will share her unique perspective that’s evolved from working at innovative small startups and large tech companies alike. Notably, her 14-year tenure at Netflix allowed her to experiment with new ways to work. Patty advocates practicing radical honesty in the workplace, saying good-bye to employees who don’t fit the company’s emerging needs and motivating with challenging work, not promises, perks and bonus plans. She argues that the old standbys of corporate HR―annual performance reviews, retention plans, employee empowerment and engagement programs―often end up being a colossal waste of time and resources. Patty is a bestselling author of Powerful: Building a Culture of Freedom and Responsibility, and her thought leadership has appeared in Harvard Business Review, NPR, Fast Company and The Wall Street Journal.

SHRM20 Conference & Expo Cancellation Notice

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – May 11, 2020: Regretfully, SHRM must cancel the SHRM 2020 Annual Conference & Expo as we have recently been informed by the San Diego Convention Center that they will not be able to host us for this event.

This was a difficult decision, but it was based on directives from the state of California, the City of San Diego, and out of a need to keep participants and the community safe.

We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event. We know SHRM’s Annual Conference is the leading HR community event, and the entire global HR community looks forward to it each year. However, we know it is the right decision and we are confident there will be brighter days ahead as the HR community navigates our “new” world of work.

As we turn our attention to the future, we look forward to seeing you at our SHRM 2021 Annual Conference & Expo, June 20-23 in Chicago. It will be a time to reconnect and celebrate the extraordinary measures we will have overcome as leaders reshaping the new world of work.
