It feels like only yesterday we were announcing registration was open for the 2019 California HR Conference. Now, here we are, with only four months left before we open the doors of the Long Beach Convention Center for four days of HR learning and fun.
(If you haven’t registered yet,
now’s the time to catch Early Bird prices before they end May 31. If you have already registered, great! You’ll want to bookmark this post, as well.)
To prepare for your best CAHR19 experience, there’s plenty do to in advance, and since we know you hate rushing/last minute stress, this May Edition of the Ultimate Attendee Guide should serve you very well. Use it as a checklist to cover all your bases before joining us in Long Beach.
Your Hotel Room
Reserve one of the discounted, super-convenient hotel rooms through our official partners listed on the website. These rooms sell out –
months in advance – especially in the hotels closest to the convention center.
Please be wary of any company claiming to represent CAHR19 housing – you can always find our official room blocks with the best rates at
cahrconference.org/hotels!
Your LGB Flight
What’s the best time to purchase airline tickets? Experts say three to four months out is generally a safe bet to secure the most reasonable prices. May this serve as your friendly reminder to book your flight to easy-in, easy-out Long Beach before it’s too late! Direct flights to LGB are available from most major U.S. cities, and the airport is a quick 15-minute ride from our epicenter.
Your Time in Long Beach
While we can’t say enough wonderful things about the time you’ll spend inside the convention center, everyone needs to step out for fresh air and sunlight. Long Beach is a particularly fantastic place to do just that. Be prepared to take the advantage of everything this chic little city has to offer by looking at our
attendee discounts, Yelp reviews of area restaurants and cafes, plus the waterside experiences to be had nearby your hotel. (Segway tours, anyone?)
Your Professional Coaching
How’s your career doing? Feel like you could use a trajectory check, or maybe a boost to go after what you really want? Look no further than the free (yes, it’s 100% free) Professional Coaching at CAHR19, provided by ICFLA. Our conference is the perfect time and place to think about your HR career goals because you’ll be surrounded by so many different HR folks from all over the country. Exposure like this is a surefire way to start focusing on the bigger picture. Stay tuned for more details on how to sign up for coaching at the Career Advancement Zone at CAHR19.
Your HR Certification Prep Class
Speaking of your professional future, how is your certification going? Kicking off your CAHR19 experience with an HR certification preparation class from Friday, August 23 to Sunday, August 25, is not only a great way to fortify your professional credentials, it’ll put you in the ideal learning mindset for the rest of the event. Plus, it gives you an excuse to come to Long Beach early and catch brand new, exclusive sessions and the
Sunday night comedy show! You can add the prep class to your registration anytime. Available preparation courses include aPHR, PHR/SPHR, PHRca, and SHRM-CP/SHRM-SCP.
