The 2026 Washington State SHRM Conference brought HR professionals from across the state together for a day of learning, networking, and collaboration. Held at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue, this annual event continues to be one of the largest HR gatherings in Washington.
As a sponsor and exhibitor, Alliance 2020 was grateful to be part of this year’s conference and connect with attendees throughout the day.
A Day of Learning and Insight
This year’s conference featured a full schedule of sessions focused on timely HR topics, including compliance updates, workplace trends, and strategies to support effective hiring and employee engagement.
Attendees had the opportunity to earn recertification credits while gaining practical insights they can apply within their organizations. The sessions, combined with time spent networking, created a well-rounded experience that reflected the priorities and challenges HR teams are navigating today.
Connecting with HR Professionals
In addition to the sessions, the conference provided valuable opportunities to connect with others across the HR community. Conversations throughout the day reflected a shared focus on building efficient processes, staying compliant, and adapting to an evolving hiring landscape.
At our booth, we had the opportunity to spend time with clients and meet new professionals from a wide range of organizations. It was great to make connections and discuss hiring and employment screening topics with those who stopped by.
Looking Ahead
The WA State SHRM Conference remains an important event for HR professionals across the region, offering a space to learn, exchange ideas, and build lasting connections.
