Put your organization in front of HR professionals and people leaders from across Washington State and the Pacific Northwest at the 2027 SHRM Washington State Annual Conference.

Each year, our Annual Conference brings together approximately 450–500 HR professionals, business leaders, consultants, and workplace decision-makers for a day of learning, connection, and professional development.

Sponsorship is more than logo placement. It is an opportunity to build relationships, increase awareness of your organization, and connect your brand with the people and ideas shaping the future of work in Washington.

​

​​Why Sponsor

​Our sponsors are important partners in creating a high-quality conference experience for Washington’s HR community.

Depending on the opportunity selected, sponsorship can help your organization:​

 

• Build brand awareness with HR professionals and organizational decision-makers;

• Create meaningful connections with current and prospective clients; ​

• Showcase your organization and the solutions, resources, or expertise you provide;

• Engage directly with attendees through networking and conference experiences;

• Align your brand with professional development and the advancement of the HR profession; and

• Create memorable touchpoints before, during, and throughout the conference experience.

​

Sponsorship opportunities range from traditional conference visibility to opportunities connected to networking, attendee experiences, hospitality, conference resources, and other high-engagement moments.

​

Whether your goal is visibility, relationship-building, attendee engagement, or simply supporting Washington’s HR community, our Sponsorship Team can help identify an opportunity that aligns with your organization.

Create a Conference Presence That Fits Your Goals

Every organization approaches sponsorship differently. Some partners are looking for broad brand visibility. Others want opportunities to engage directly with attendees, support networking, showcase their expertise, or associate their organization with a memorable part of the conference experience.

 

Our 2027 sponsorship opportunities are designed to provide a variety of ways to connect with attendees, including opportunities related to:

 

Brand Visibility

Put your organization’s name and brand in front of conference attendees through select digital, print, and on-site opportunities.

 

Attendee Experiences
Align your organization with memorable conference experiences such as coffee, meals, networking, member experiences, or other attendee touchpoints.

​

Connection & Engagement

Create opportunities for attendees to interact with your organization and learn more about the products, services, and expertise you provide.

​

Supporting the HR Community

Demonstrate your organization’s commitment to the HR profession and help SHRM Washington State deliver an engaging, accessible, high-quality professional development experience.

Specific benefits vary by sponsorship opportunity.
