Waves of political, social and economic changes continue to batter the hospitality industry with a fury that was unimaginable just a year ago. The 4th Annual National HR in Hospitality™ Conference, returning to Wynn Las Vegas, February 22 – 24, 2010 will help you confidently navigate these treacherous waters.

The 2010 program offers a compelling mix of general sessions and drill-down breakouts focused on today’s most urgent topics. Experts will explain the myriad labor laws and how they affect the day-to-day management of your staff, showing you the way to compliance and how to eliminate the employee-generated complaints that bring the DOL to your door.

We’re also looking at a potential sea change in labor-management relations with the pending Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA). Rest assured that we’ll address the current status of EFCA and other critical labor and employment law developments that will impact your workplace.

In good times and bad, employee recruitment, engagement and retention are key performance areas for the hospitality industry’s HR functions. We’ll feature discussion groups with the best minds in the business who will help you easily apply the lessons learned in your workplace. Plus, for the first time, HR in Hospitality™ attendees will have the opportunity to attend the Cornell University HR Executive Roundtable.

The role of HR as a strategic business partner will remain important. But the role of HR as an employee champion is becoming increasingly urgent. We’ll show you how to align HR and business strategies in ways that increase employee commitment and capability, ultimately improving your ability to execute your business plans and effectively compete in a world where the hurdles are being raised each quarter.

Whether it’s through word-of-mouth, industry buzz or the program itself, you’ll see why this conference continues to be so successful. Or read for yourself the opinions of industry publications that have written about the 2009 event.

HR in Hospitality™ is the only conference with sessions specific to the hospitality industry and delivered by industry leaders who know what you need to learn to be successful. Plus, the Expo Hall brings you leading vendors of HR products and services that are key to improving efficiency, productivity and cost-savings.
