Aspire National HRBP Conference – Challenging, influencing and enabling organisations

The first national Aspire Conference for HR & OD professionals took place on 1 December 2016 at Villa Park, Birmingham. It attracted delegates from all around the country to hear from thought provoking speakers and to share their own views in open space workshops. The conference also launched a national strategic HR & OD Business Partner Network which is now connecting through LinkedIn.

With thanks to our partners, contributors, and HRBP’s – who collectively helped to make the first Aspire HRBP Conference a great success!

We hope you all continue to stay engaged through the HRBP Network.
