DRAPER, Utah, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BambooHR®, the leading people intelligence platform for HR, payroll, and benefits, today announced its return as the presenting sponsor of the SHRM Annual Conference & Expo (SHRM26), marking the second year of its multi-year sponsorship through 2027.
The SHRM Annual Conference & Expo is one of the largest global gatherings of HR professionals, bringing together thousands of leaders to explore the trends, technologies, and strategies shaping the future of work. This year’s event will take place June 16–19, 2026, in Orlando, Florida and virtual.
As part of its presence at SHRM26, BambooHR CEO Brad Rencher will deliver a keynote on Wednesday, June 17, alongside renowned author and leadership expert Simon Sinek. The session, “The Future of Work Is Still Human,” will challenge the growing narrative of a “humanless future” and offer a more practical and optimistic perspective on how work is evolving and how it must be intentionally redesigned.
“HR leaders are at the center of one of the most important transitions in how work gets done,” said Brad Rencher, CEO of BambooHR. “While technology will continue to reshape the workplace, the real opportunity is to redesign work, not just automate it. That means rethinking roles, workflows, and how people create value, so technology strengthens human capability, builds trust, and enables more meaningful work.”
BambooHR’s continued sponsorship reflects its belief that people will define the future of work. As organizations navigate increasing complexity, BambooHR’s people intelligence platform equips business leaders with the insight and tools needed to elevate their people, strengthen culture, and drive meaningful business outcomes.
Attendees at SHRM26 can visit BambooHR at booth 3537 to experience the platform firsthand, connect with product experts, and learn how organizations are simplifying HR while improving employee outcomes.
