Conference Description

The place to learn is where the teachers are among the top tier of labor arbitrators, the materials are complete, your questions are answered, and the instruction is practical so you can put the training to use.

At this conference, you will learn the latest developments in labor law and labor arbitration, refine advocacy skills, and engage in strategic thinking.

We begin on Thursday morning and end on Friday afternoon. Each day’s schedule is compact, so you have some free time, while still putting in a full day of work.

We welcome you to Tampa. Come for the education — and especially the insights to tackle the next case or personnel issue.
