On 3-6 November 2020, CHS Alliance held its first ever virtual Humanitarian Human Resources conference - HHR2020 Online. This four half days event consisted of daily motivational and thought-provoking keynotes speeches, inspiring panel discussions, insightful workshops, networking, exhibitor booths, as well as relaxing and energising activities. While the coronavirus pandemic led us to take the usually in-person HHR conference online, we felt it was important to provide our participants with a way to gather during an otherwise isolating time, both professionally and personally. As a result of this change, we were also able to welcome many first-time participants, including the most international roster of attendees ever at HHR.
