Conference: August 9 - 13, 2009
Exhibit Hall: August 10 - 12, 2009

For more than 20 years, the Federal Dispute Resolution Conference has remained the must-attend training conference for hundreds of federal civil service professionals each year. 

Spanning 2-1/2 days, the FDR Conference offers approximately 50 unique topic-oriented workshops and sessions designed specifically to enhance the skills required of today's federal employment law professional. What's more, most of the sessions are offered twice — so that there is ample opportunity to attend those sessions of most interest to you. Federal employment law expert and conference chair William Bransford, Esq., and a well-respected advisory board composed of seasoned federal civil service law practitioners from numerous agencies ensure that the training is focused on timely and relevant issues. Sessions target various levels of experience — and audiences from supervisors to upper-level executives — who are involved with human resources, labor and employee relations, EEO/diversity and employment law. 

Additionally, you have the option to arrive a day early and attend a pre-conference workshop — and enjoy an extra evening in Phoenix at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge luxury resort and spa! The pre-conference workshops are longer, more concentrated sessions that expand your knowledge on a specific topic.

See for yourself how this conference gives you the expert insight and specialized training simply not available at any other conference. Plan on joining hundreds of your peers August 9 - 13, 2009 in Phoenix as high-level keynotes and first-rate speakers break down the complex employment issues affecting you and your agency.
