What Associação Brasileira de Recursos Humanos | ABRH-ES does

Associação Brasileira de Recursos Humanos – ABRH-ES is a regional, non-profit civil association (associação civil) headquartered in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil, founded around 1985 as the state-level section of the national ABRH Brasil network (which unites 23 sections across the country). It serves HR practitioners, people-management leaders, and corporate members in Espírito Santo through a portfolio of programs rather than a single product: the flagship CONEXA H congress (~3,000 attendees annually at Centro de Convenções de Vitória), the Prêmio Ser Humano award program (20+ years running, the largest HR management award in the state), the Universidade CONECTA online learning platform (300+ courses for members), the ABRH-ES Cast podcast on Spotify, the Revista Digital Conexa h digital magazine, regional workshops across Espírito Santo cities, an annual Forum de Gestores, and a Business Partner formation program delivered with MMurad FGV.

The association is operated by a small administrative office of 1-10 staff supported by 70+ volunteers and a governance structure comprising 12 directorates, an Executive Board, and a Deliberative Council. Revenue is generated through three streams: annual individual membership fees (R$348/year), corporate memberships (variable by company size, undisclosed), event ticketing (CONEXA H at R$1,197 for members and R$1,865 for non-members; visitor passes at R$200), and tiered event sponsorships (Apresenta, Ouro, Prata, Bronze). Distribution runs through abrhes.org.br, LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp direct communication, and the higestor.com.br event platform. ABRH-ES does not disclose financials, has no funding rounds, and operates as a membership-driven community association rather than a technology or venture-backed entity.
