It’s tough to predict EXACTLY what your 2018 California HR Conference experience will look like, but this video comes pretty close. We pulled together highlights from last year’s conference to show off the sessions, networking activities, Marketplace, and more. Looks like a lot of fun, doesn’t it?

| There’s no better way to attend the 2018 California HR Conference than with our Corporate Delegation Program. We recognize the value of HR teams attending our conference as a group, and that goes well beyond simply getting to know one another outside the office. The shared learning and boost in morale after three days spent in sunny Long Beach, CA is only the beginning. Check out the rest of the outstanding benefits to the Corporate Delegation program and register your team to attend today! |

 Next, we like to acknowledge Corporate Delegation Program groups as corporate supporters of the California HR Conference. It’s our way of saying thank you and sharing your company’s name with the entire conference audience. Plus, the ribbon you get at check-in at registration identifies your team as eligible for these fabulous perks and extras: |
⭐VIP seating in keynote sessions.
No need to scramble for good seats during the general sessions when you take advantage of reserved seating for you and your team. (Space is limited!)
⭐Dedicated lounge space.
The CAHR18 event space can get busy, which makes our exclusive lounge space perfect for taking a break, taking phone calls in a quite location, and regrouping with the team to plan the next session to attend or where to have dinner that night. Access to this lounge is set aside for Corporate Delegation Program attendees to relax and network with other program groups.
⭐Onsite training discount.
We value the certification of your team, so we’re making sure everyone in the Corporate Delegation program has an opportunity to get 10% off their HR certification preparation course registration. Your organization can host an on-site HR certification preparation course with PIHRA for the whole local HR community, or just your company, and your delegation will each receive 10% off their course registration.
⭐Free access to Senior/Exec level virtual presentation.
The most senior members of the CAHR Corporate Delegation Program have access to exclusive senior level professional development.
|
If you’ve already registered a group from your company, you are still eligible to participate. All organizations who send 10 or more individuals to CAHR18 receive access to these perks! If you haven’t registered your team yet… why wait? The group discount will apply automatically when you register all individuals at the same time with the same form of payment. |
Get ready for the new CAHR18 VIP experience. Register your team as a Corporate Delegation today!
Invest in your team and your career!
How did you decide where to spend your professional development budget this year? Perhaps you flipped a coin or went with the “coolest” destination. If you’re the type who crunches numbers to get the most mileage out of your professional development budget, the 2018 California HR Conference is right up your alley! It’s an incredible amount of content and opportunity with a price tag that barely comes close to other HR events.
And with standard rates ending on July 31, you still have some time to register and stretch your budget even further!
At the time this blog post was written, the prices for a 3-day nonmember registration, airfare from Northern California, and accommodations right next to the Long Beach Convention Center averaged out to be:
Considering other HR conferences charge over $2000 for registration alone, your professional development budget is very well spent at the 2018 California HR Conference.
Take our two cents and register to attend CAHR18 by July 31 to get the most out of our professional development budget!
Time flies when you’re having fun, and when you’re getting closer to the 2018 California HR Conference. If you haven’t registered to attend yet, there’s still time to do so, and take advantage of our Early Bird prices before June 7.
Don’t let procrastination keep you from saving – register today!
Waiting until the last minute is fine (we do it, too), but what if the next seven days slip by and suddenly you’re too busy to register before 11:59pm on Thursday, June 7? What a shame to miss out on saving $100 off our PIHRA Member on-site rate, especially when you consider how much value you’re getting:
Networking opportunities everywhere.
The phrase “finding your tribe” has never been more true than at CAHR18. It’s easy to make valuable HR industry connections just about everywhere at the conference. Who know’s, you might even meet your future boss or star employee here!
Cutting edge content from inspiring speakers.
Our Keynote sessions alone will help you become more resilient, more activated and productive in your day-to-day, and cultivate a sense of purpose in your work. And that’s just the beginning! Check out all the California specific and national HR content being covered in our Sessions Schedule.
Professional advancement.
How does up to 16.5 HCRI HR (General) recertification credits and SHRM Professional Development credits sound? There’s also coaching and solutions to ensure you return to work sharper and better equipped than ever.
Fun, sun and getting away from your desk for a minute in Long Beach.
You can’t put a price on the restorative powers of taking a break from your professional routine. Long Beach is the ideal city to relax in outside the conference – between the food and activities, there’s plenty to take your mind off your daily grind.
Those are just four of the reasons why you should plan to be at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center from August 26-29, 2018.
Don’t let the next week pass you by without registering.
Early Bird prices end 11:59pm June 7 – Register soon!
Here it is! The 2018 California HR Conference Sessions Schedule! This preview offers the full scope of CAHR18 sessions from start to finish. The official, dynamic session directory will be live very soon, but in the meantime, this preview can help you start to plan your conference experience.
You already registered, right? If not, reserve your spot before June 31 when Standard prices end to save and enjoy all this content.
