World Congress

World Congress

The WFPMA holds a World Congress on People Management every two years. Reflecting its international origins and concerns, the meeting location moves among its member countries.  The World Congress has been held since 1986 in seventeen different countries.

The World Congress enables HR professionals to build a global community of peers, to discuss new developments in HRM, and to network with colleagues from around the world who face similar complex challenges in human resource management.
