May every day be full of opportunities, especially when HR professionals from the entire region gather! The HR Days conference comes with new ideas, energy and inspiration that will inspire you to question everything you think you know about HR. From May 6 to 8, 2025, Rovinj will become the epicenter of knowledge, innovation and the creation of contacts.
Get ready for three days filled with interesting discussions on current topics such as salaries and the new EU Directive, inclusion and talent acquisition. In addition, we will explore what exactly it means to be a good leader in today's fast-changing world. Join us on the journey to new knowledge, because this conference is not only about business - it is about creating a community that shares the same passion and goals.
Still not sure why you should come? If that's the case, maybe these 13 reasons will change your mind.
1. Keynote speakers who are like the rock stars of HR
Every year we raise the bar of quality and deliver content that dispels myths, follows trends and opens discussions on topics that are not normally discussed. In order to keep up that pace, the list of our renowned keynote speakers is getting richer and more diverse, bringing you the latest insights from the world of HR.
2. We are developing creativity through workshops
Theory is one thing, but practice is what makes the difference. At HR Days conference we always encourage interactive work and exchange of ideas. At your request, every year we increase the number of workshops so that you can gain new knowledge, exchange experiences and expand your horizons in a relaxed atmosphere, so in the new edition of the HR Days conference, you can expect more than ten carefully organized and interactive workshops!
3. Three days of inspiration and fun
Oh yes, we have officially extended the conference to three days of inspiration, networking, education, fun and happiness. We will start the afternoon hours on the first day with a series of educational and networking workshops so that you can connect with colleagues and make new acquaintances from the very beginning. Because no one should be alone at HR Days!
4. We learn from the best
Practice always beats theory, and we know that best! That's why we've been recognizing and rewarding best HR practices from the region. This year we will once again bring you creative solutions, innovative projects and bold approaches that change the way we look at human resources.
5. Newtorking in a different way
In today's connected world, success isn't just about numbers – it's about the people you meet and the relationships you build. Imagine - about 600 HR professionals from Croatia and abroad gather in one place, and you have dedicated time within the program to make new acquaintances! Throughout all three days, we have prepared various opportunities for relaxed acquaintance or renewal of old contacts.
6. All inclusive – no worries about your wallet
Do you know that feeling when you arrive at an event, pay the registration fee, and then realize that you have to reach for your wallet again for every little pleasure? There are no hidden costs with us. Everything is included - from coffee and desserts, to drinks and evening entertainment. Forget about your wallet and enjoy three days of carefree socializing, education and fun. Ice creams, coffees, surprise drinks... just relax and enjoy.
7. We break prejudices, myths and follow trends
The HR world is not immune to myths and old prejudices - but at the HR Days conference we break them with a smile! Forget about outdated theories about recruitment and motivation; here we learn from real examples and the latest trends. From "millennials are lazy" to "artificial intelligence is taking over HR", we'll put each myth under the magnifying glass and then demystify it - because HR has no place for outdated ideas! And along the way, we will reveal to you the latest trends that are changing the way we work and lead teams. Be ready for new perspectives and thinking outside the box.
8. An afterparty to remember (or not to remember)
From day one, we believe that success is not complete without a little (or a lot!) of good fun. After a long day full of inspiration and learning, the only thing left is - dancing! That's why every year we add an unforgettable party to the conference that lasts until late at night. And sometimes until dawn. Music, laughter, dance moves you may not have known you had - it's all waiting for you. Who knows, you might find the best deal right on the dance floor.
9. Location, location, location
Rovinj is not just a town – it is a magical destination. The streets of this pearl of Istria lead you through history, while around every corner opens a view of the endless blue of the sea. With sun, salt and the charm of the old town, this is the perfect backdrop for three days filled with inspiration and enjoyment.
10. Colleagues who understand your struggles
An environment where everyone is on the same wavelength! At HR Days, you can share your challenges and experiences with colleagues who understand them. Together we will discover new solutions, develop ideas and maybe make friends for life. For those who are more shy, during all three days there is also the possibility of asking anonymous questions via an application that is available during all lectures.
11. Instagram-worthy moments
HR Days is not only an opportunity to learn, but also to capture perfect moments that you will want to share! From unusual photo spots to spontaneous gatherings and inspiring speeches, every moment beckons to be captured. Whether you're capturing a great shot from the audience or a photo with colleagues, this is a conference full of Instagrammable experiences. With moments like these, you won't even need filters!
12. One, two, three... Get inspired!
Modern HR professionals are constantly expected to come up with new and inventive solutions. Unfortunately, the deadlines for their delivery are getting shorter and shorter, and the pressure is constantly increasing. In such circumstances, our inspiration can disappear or hide itself for a while. Fortunately, HR Days offer a completely different environment, as if created for turning our brain circuits more energetically and releasing creative brakes.
13. Let's make 13 a lucky number
The number 13 is not always unlucky – at least not at HR Days! In 2025, we celebrate the thirteenth anniversary of the conference, which will once again bring inspiring lectures, practical workshops, networking, entertainment and everything that has delighted you so far. See you in fairytale Rovinj from 6 to 8 May!
