The 2022 Human Capital Conference

GMA SHRM is excited to announce its 17th Annual Human Capital Conference will return in person on Tuesday, May 17, 2022 at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI!   

Today’s world and workplace are changing in ways we could never imagine. This disruption is taking a major toll in productivity and engagement regardless of role or industry. Many leaders are struggling to realign and maintain enthusiasm within their organization.

The 2022 Human Capital Conference will help you find solutions to today's HR issues and to celebrate our first live program in over 2 years we are featuring 2 amazing keynote presenters!  

Join in the Fight Against Child Food Insecurity


Bring your food donation items or make a cash donation.  For every 5 items donated or $5 cash donation made you will recieve an entry into our grand prize drawing:  A Sundara Spa Package!

More than 40,000 children are food insecure in southwestern Wisconsin and that number increases when school lunch programs take thier break during summer.  

Nationally, 22 million children have access to free or reduced-cost meals at school. But less than 4 million kids receive similar meals through USDA Summer Food Service Programs, leaving a gap of 18 million children who may not know where their meals will come from over the summer. Help us change that.

As is tradition, our day will conclude with a reception and networking.   We will draw our winner for the Sundara Spa Package from our generous donors to Second Harvest Foodbank.
