The CPHR Conference & Expo is one of the most valuable events of the year for HR professionals, offering a wealth of knowledge, networking opportunities, and innovative solutions to today’s workplace challenges.
This will be our second year attending, and we know firsthand how beneficial it can be when you plan ahead and maximize your time.
This year, NYRC’s Brad Barcham and Stuart Rushworth will be attending the conference, and they’re excited to meet you!
Here’s how you can make the most of your experience at the CPHR Conference & Expo.
Plan Your Schedule in Advance
With a packed agenda featuring keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and exhibitor booths, it’s important to plan ahead. Review the event schedule and choose sessions that align with your professional interests and business needs. Prioritizing the right topics will help you leave with actionable insights.
Bring the Right Tools

Portable Charger – Ensure your devices stay powered throughout the day, especially if you're using apps for note-taking and networking.
Visit the Expo Hall
The Expo Hall is a fantastic place to connect with leading HR service providers and discover new solutions. Make sure to stop by the NYRC booth—Brad and Stuart would love to chat with you about how Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs) can support your organization’s health and disability management strategies.
Network with Fellow HR Professionals
One of the biggest advantages of attending an in-person event is the opportunity to meet like-minded professionals. Whether it’s during coffee breaks, networking receptions, or post-session discussions, take the time to connect with new people. You never know where a conversation might lead!
Engage in Interactive Sessions
Many sessions at the CPHR Conference & Expo encourage participation. Ask questions, share your experiences, and engage with speakers and panelists. The more you put into a session, the more you’ll get out of it.
Take Notes and Follow Up
There’s going to be a lot of valuable information shared, so jot down key takeaways and action items during sessions. After the event, follow up with the people you met — whether it’s a LinkedIn connection request, an email, or a quick call to keep the conversation going.
Have Fun and Stay Present
Conferences are a unique mix of learning and socializing, so make the most of it! Attend networking events, explore the venue, and enjoy the experience. Staying present and engaged will ensure you get the most value from the conference.
See You There!
NYRC is proud to be part of the CPHR Conference & Expo once again, and we look forward to connecting with you. Be sure to find Brad and Stuart at the event - they’re eager to discuss how NYRC can support your HR and workplace health initiatives.
