About the Conference
Welcome to Tacoma!
On behalf of the NHRMA board, we are excited to have you join us in celebrating NHRMA’s 85th Annual NHRMA Conference & Tradeshow in Tacoma, WA. The conference will be held at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center starting September 19, 2023, through September 21, 2023. This year’s conference will return to the previous longer format bringing the best speakers and networking opportunities in the Pacific NW.
As strategic human resource professionals and business leaders, we must continue to anticipate how HR and business will need to adapt to the future in these fast-paced and challenging times. Our tradeshow will be full of the latest and greatest exhibitors with the newest and cutting-edge technology and products for our profession.
Come join us in Tacoma and experience all that it offers from the Art and Glass Museum, Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, and McMenamins. Not to mention the fun neighborhoods like Proctor, Point Ruston, Stadium district, and others to explore. There is something for everyone from wine shops, breweries, concerts, and shopping.
We look forward to seeing you in Tacoma and celebrating this historic milestone for the NHRMA conference on its 85th anniversary!
