The event is scheduled for June 2nd in Nashville. Eubanks emphasized the value of in-person attendance, stating:

Live Sessions and Networking Opportunities
As Ben Eubanks outlined, the live event will feature sessions with notable speakers and thinkers in the HR space. He specifically mentioned Allyson Smart, SPHR Angela N. Briggs-Paige, CMBA, SPHR, CDR, and Kamaria Scott as confirmed participants. Beyond the educational content, Eubanks pointed to the networking aspect as a significant draw.
Building Connections at HR Summer School

“We will have some amazing snacks on hand from some small businesses we are supporting.”
In addition to the core programming, Eubanks mentioned that the event will support local small businesses by featuring their snacks. This detail, as noted by Eubanks, adds a community-focused element to the overall experience.
Limited Availability and Call to Action
Eubanks stressed that seats for the live Nashville event are limited to maintain an intimate atmosphere. He used a direct call to action, stating:
“Want to join us? Check out the Eventbrite link in the comments below. We have limited seats so that we keep it tight knit. When they’re gone they are gone!”
He also humorously mentioned his own travel plans from Huntsville, AL, suggesting carpooling for friends. The post also offered a glimpse of the new 2026 HR Summer School shirts.
