Hacking HRHacking HR Presents

BUILDIt's time to experiment.

The ONLY in-person HR gathering where you don't just come to "attend". You come to EXPERIMENT with ideas and BUILD the future.

NOT A CONFERENCE.
A SANDBOX.

We're rebuilding the in-person event from the ground up. No "fly across the country for a 30 minute talk." No vendors chasing badge scans.

At Hacking HR, we’re rebuilding the in‑person event from the ground up. Our gatherings are designed to be local, relevant, practical, human and radically accessible.

We prioritize useful content over spectacle and logistics that work for real people: shorter travel, lower costs, deeper regional connection and spaces that feel like community.

Community is the core of that promise. We design every session so you’re not being spoken at, but building with others who care about the same problems.
