Focus Areas for HRMCon 2026

As Human Risk Management continues to evolve, we’re looking for sessions that reflect the changing nature of today’s workforce and risk landscape.

HRMCon 2026 will explore how security leaders are adapting to a world where human behavior, identity, and emerging technologies all play a role in organizational risk.

We're looking for sessions that align with the following focus areas:
