The HRI 2026 conference would not exist if not for the support of our valued partners. The financial support of our Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze Partners and the in-kind support of our Community Partners each contributed uniquely towards the shared vision and success of the HRI 2026 conference. We thank you!
