About the event
The Work Elevated Conference (WECon) has roots in 1987, when it was known as the Crossroads Conference. It was created to facilitate the crossing of paths, providing HR professionals the opportunity to exchange ideas and expertise.
The conference was founded by the Salt Lake Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), formed in 1964 at the height of the Civil Rights Movement. Today, Utah SHRM organizes the annual conference.
In 2020, under the direction of Elisa Garn, the conference was re-envisioned as the Work Elevated Conference. The transformation parallels Utah’s slogan: Life Elevated.
“Life Elevated” reminds Utah residents to not only elevate how they see the world, but how they see themselves in it. “Work Elevated” does the same for HR practitioners. Our aim is not just to provide solutions for today’s immediate problems, but also to encourage HR practitioners to rethink what their workplace could become — and importantly, the power they have as individuals and teams to bring that future to life.
The WECon Committee makes tremendous effort each year to provide the latest expertise, inspiration, and practical solutions. Over the years, WECon has expanded its learning tracks to Culture and Recruiting, Employment Law, Public Sector, Total Rewards, and HR Master Class.
Now drawing attendees from surrounding states, WECon continues to support National SHRM’s vision of “Better Workplaces for a Better World.”
