Employment Law Update · 44th Year

Why this one's different
This isn't a webinar you catch if you have a free hour. For 43 years it's been the room — and now the virtual rooms too — where HR leaders and executives get their legal footing for the year ahead. Attendance grows because the stakes do.
In one focused morning, AAIM's trusted employment attorneys walk you through what actually changed at the federal and state level, why it matters for your workplace, and the moves to make now. You leave knowing where your exposure is and what to fix first — so you spend the year leading, not catching up.
→ A clear read on what changed — federal and state, in plain English, no legalese.
→ Your exposure, named — where the new rules touch your policies, and what to fix first.
→ Live answers from the attorneys — bring the situation sitting on your desk to open Q&A.
→ Coverage for every state you operate in — one focused morning, all your jurisdictions.
→ Recordings you can revisit — in-person and live online registrants get on-demand access through Dec 16.

Two Ways to Attend
Whether you operate across several states or focus on Illinois, there's a session built for how you work.
Who's Teaching
Your sessions are led by experienced employment attorneys — the people who argue these cases and advise employers like you.
The best part isn't the slides — it's the Q&A. Bring the leave question, the accommodation gray area, the policy you're not sure still holds up. That's what the room is for.
Why employers come back
Every year the attendee list grows, and every year the same names come back. Not because the topic is thrilling — because the guidance is that good, and getting it wrong is that costly. Miss it, and you're reconstructing the year's biggest legal changes from memos and hearsay. Attend, and you're the person in your building who already knows.
