2026 POOL/PACT HR Leadership Conference

Join us in Reno for the 2026 POOL/PACT HR Leadership Conference, taking place October 21–22 at the Atlantis Casino Resort. This annual event brings together Nevada’s public-sector HR professionals and leaders for two days of learning, connection, and practical insight focused on the realities of today’s public-sector workplace.


Designed for HR practitioners, executives, and organizational leaders from local governments and government-affiliated nonprofits, the conference explores timely employment law updates, best practices, and leadership strategies that support both compliance and people.


This year’s theme, Human First: HR Beyond the Algorithm, keeps the focus on people, highlighting empathy, sound judgment, and human connection in today’s evolving workplace.
