SDHR Forum Law Day 2026

Connect, Learn, and Discuss the Employment Law Issues Shaping the Workplace

Join the San Diego Human Resources Forum (SDHR Forum) for our annual Law Day, one of our most popular and highly anticipated events of the year. Designed specifically for HR professionals, Law Day brings together leading employment attorneys and HR practitioners for a dynamic morning of learning, discussion, and networking.

Unlike a traditional conference, Law Day features an interactive roundtable format that encourages meaningful conversations and practical problem-solving. Attorneys present concise, high-impact sessions on timely employment law topics and then rotate among small groups of attendees, creating opportunities for direct dialogue, real-world application, and relationship building.

As organizations prepare for 2027, HR leaders continue to navigate an increasingly complex legal and workplace landscape. Discussions may explore topics such as artificial intelligence in the workplace, disability accommodations and the interactive process, PAGA developments, leave management challenges, workplace investigations, documentation best practices, and other emerging employment law trends. Each attorney will bring a unique perspective, sharing insights and practical guidance on the issues most relevant to today's HR professionals.

Law Day provides a valuable opportunity to gain current legal insights, exchange ideas with peers, and build connections with respected employment law experts in the San Diego community.
