HR Indies Conference 2024: Empowering HR Independents

An amazing day at the HR Indies Conference 2024!

It was just so lovely to meet people that I have known online for years in person at HR Indies Conference 2024. They had an exceptional line up of speakers who covered a real spread of topics from AI in HR to being in tune with the cycles of life (including the moon!). Fundamentally the day was filled with insightful and passionate speakers, each offering valuable perspectives on the evolving HR landscape. I particularly enjoyed having the opportunity to interview Aly King-Smith and  Anne Cannings on the HR Indie panel, where they shared their inspiring career journeys and imparted top tips for others.

The awards were incredibly well deserved and I don’t envy the judges having to decide on the finalists and winners! As the HR Uprising Podcast sponsored the High Growth Indie award, I was fortunate to meet the finalists and was able to present Claire Watt as the winner. I was also really impressed by the runner up Louise Skittrall.

A shout out to two local HR Indies – Diane Secker and Ruth George who were both finalists in the same category of the  ‘Inspirational Indie’ awards. What a difficult choice and no one could have been happier for Ruth when she won than Dianne.

I genuinely left the event buzzing having met so many dedicated HR professionals in a fabulously supportive environment. It has left me excited for next year’s conference! Thanks to Mary Asante, Charlotte Allfery and team for a fabulous day.
