Celebrating 40 Years!

2026 Employment Law Conference

Registration is open for our 40th Anniversary Employment Law Conference!
​
​This 2 1/2-day conference, which will be held Oct. 15-17 at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles, will be jam-packed with helpful information to help you become an even more powerful advocate for California's workers. Sessions include:
​
  • Bias in AI
  • Combatting Defense Delay Tactics
  • Equal Pay for Equal Work: Important Amendments to Help Lessen the Pay Gap for Women, People of Color, and Nonbinary Employees
  • Settlement Acceleration Tactics: How to Turn Cases in 6-12 Months Without Sacrificing Value
  • And much more!
​
We are delighted to welcome trailblazing attorney Gloria Allred as the keynote speaker of our Diversity Outreach Luncheon on Friday, Oct. 16. A tireless and successful advocate, Ms. Allred's high-profile legal battles have led to landmark precedent-setting court decisions and hundreds of millions of dollars for her clients.
​
And we will honor this year's Joe Posner Award recipient, Sharon Vinick, at 4:10 PM on Thursday, Oct. 15 -- please join us in showing our appreciation. The conference agenda (subject to change) can be found HERE. CELA is a State Bar of California approved MCLE provider, #2292.
​
The event will be especially festive this year as we're celebrating our Ruby Anniversary! Please come to our special reception on the first night of the conference: Lift a glass of bubbly, have some cake, and grab limited-edition 40th anniversary swag (while supplies last).
