SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PayrollOrg®, the leader in payroll education, publications, and training, will bring payroll professionals together for the 2026 Payroll Leaders Conference (PLC), Sept. 14-16 in San Antonio, Texas. The three-day conference will prepare current and emerging payroll leaders to strengthen payroll operations, manage organizational change, and make more strategic business decisions.
The conference will open with leadership expert Pegine, who will explore strategic leadership in the midst of chaos and communicating with command presence. Carolyn Hayden-Garner, global executive at Tesla, will close the conference with a session examining the systems that influence accuracy and accountability within organizations.
Attendees will also combine leadership development with in-depth payroll education and choose from one of four certificate programs to complete:
- Payroll System Selection and Implementation
- Strategic Payroll Practices
- The Art and Science of Building Strong Vendor Alliances
- Managing Payroll Operations Across the Globe

Beyond the educational programming, PayrollOrg will also recognize its Prism Award recipients.
