Get Ready for ASHHRA24
 
   
We’re thrilled you’re here (or that you’re on your way)! If you're local, One Day Conference Registration is still available for Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday.

Each morning of the conference at 6:00 a.m. PT, you’ll receive this newsletter, which will be filled with insights, interviews and recaps of the conference’s best events. If you have feedback, email the  ASHHRA Conference Pulse editor.

Opportunities to cultivate new and ongoing business connections are some of the most significant benefits of this conference. Make sure to take advantage of the next few days to expand your network! If you aren't able to join us here in the Emerald City, we hope that you'll enjoy the experience vicariously through this newsletter and by following #ASHHRA17 on social media!

You also have the opportunity to write personal notes for inclusion in the kits.
     
    All attendees are invited to join us this afternoon at the Welcome Reception from 4:00-5:00 p.m. in the Atrium Lobby.
