In this politically charged era, the federal workplace has become a scapegoat. Your budgets — and in some cases, your staff — have been slashed. But your agency is expected to become even more efficient with limited resources, while still maintaining accountability. So how do you get there?

For more than a quarter century, the Federal Dispute Resolution Conference has earned a reputation for providing a solid professional development experience for federal civil service law practitioners and professionals.

And this year's event promises to be better than ever. More than 30 breakout sessions will deliver practical guidance for handling telework, reasonable accommodation, harassment, performance, discipline, leave and more. 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.

And, as always, no matter what your level of experience or expertise is, you’re sure to find a multitude of sessions that meet your needs. Best of all, you save big when you bring your entire team — the more colleagues you bring, the more you save.

Additionally, you have the option to arrive a day early and attend pre-conference workshops — and enjoy an extra evening in beautiful San Antonio. The pre-conference workshops are broken down into a mix of full- and half-day sessions, giving you more options than ever before!

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 20 - 23, 2012 as high-level keynotes and first-rate speakers break down the complex employment issues affecting you and your agency.
