About the Conference

HR SealThe premiere legislative day for Human Resource Professionals in New York State has expanded to include several sessions on New York State labor, human rights and workers’ compensation compliance.

Beginning with the popular networking reception in the historic War Room of the State Capitol on Monday evening, participants on Tuesday will hear from experts on current discrimination, unemployment insurance, workforce development, federal legislative and workers’ compensation issues.  Attendees will also have the opportunity to request a visit with one of their state legislators. 

This legislative event is also an excellent opportunity for sponsorship and networking.
