No Bagged Lunch at CAHR18

Attending a professional conference refreshes your routine in the best way possible, replacing your daily grind with novelty, innovation, and inspiration. The 2018 California HR Conference provides four days for you to get out of the office, enjoy the vibes of sun-soaked Long Beach, and surprise yourself with something different. It’s the perfect place to book a massage, test out a new drink, put yourself out there to make new connections, and treat yourself to that morning pastry – and what the heck, why not dessert, too!

In all seriousness, we take lunch time at #CAHR18, well, seriously. The midday break is the perfect time to network with others, process the insights you’ve learned, unwind & refuel between learning sessions, pick someone’s brain about how their organization handles issues, and lounge around while taking your time to enjoy a full lunch break – for once.

Never Lunch Alone

As Keith Ferrazzi writes in “Never Eat Alone,” amazing relationships and business opportunities can arise from simply sharing a meal with others. And with all your HR peers gathered in one place, lunchtime at CAHR18 is brimming with potential for you to find your #HRtribe community. Professional lunches have the potential to be about so much more than just staving off a growling stomach, and we support that!  Besides, don’t you want to eat a proper lunch on a plate at a table at an event?

Hot, Fresh, Food – just the way you need it.

The California HR Conference has always been proud to serve a hot, fresh, buffet lunch to attendees, with plenty of time to network, and plenty of seating in the dining area and the marketplace. It is a non-negotiable, no-brainer, cornerstone that we provide you with a Real Meal™ for lunch, with actual time to digest it and form relationships, and with specific options available for those with lifestyle restrictions. Dairy-free, vegan, and gluten-free options are available and easy for you to select in advance, during your online registration

 

Drumroll, please…

Now that you’re almost as excited about lunch as we are, without further ado, we’re thrilled to provide you with our first-ever Lunch Menu Preview! Try not to drool on your desk. 😉

This year’s menu is inspired by local Long Beach cuisine & ingredients, featuring regional specialties/favorites from the many global cultures that form the heartbeat of Southern California.

Refresh Yourself with Bevi!

This year, Bevi 💦 smart water coolers will provide you with extra refreshment at the California HR Conference! You will be able to select filtered water, fizz, and flavors to enjoy personalized drinks like strawberry lemongrass, cucumber, lime mint, peach mango, and more. We invite you to bring your own eco-conscious water bottle like S’well, Klean Kanteen or HydroFlask.

If you prefer no-frills in your hydration, we will also have plenty of fresh water coolers available as well!
