How to Spend Your Professional Development Budget Like a Boss

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:

  • 3-day Nonmember registration: $945.00
  • Airfare from San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose: approximately $125.00
  • Three nights at the Renaissance Hotel: $561.84
  • Ground Transportation via Lyft/Uber: approximately $34.00

Grand Total: $1,665.84

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!
