Let’s make it official! What say we meet IRL at SHRM Annual Conference? #SHRM16

June 2, 2016 | by Eric B. Meyer

Around this time last year, I invited readers to connect at the 2015 SHRM Annual Conference and Expo in Las Vegas. Notwithstanding my try-too-hard-to-be-whimsically-irreverent approach, I made some great connections.

Now, one year wiser, I’m going to keep it sincere and humble.

So, imagine arriving in Washington, DC, only to being carried off the ground by President Obama’s private fleet of butterflies, and delivered gracefully to me at the Conference to be anointed as an HR god(dess).

Did I mention that, “blasphemous and creepy” is the new “sincere and humble”?

Ok, let’s try that again.

I’m going to be at SHRM16 on Monday, June 20, and, probably, Tuesday too. I’ll be doing some learning, networking, blogging, and snapchatting. If you’d like to meet, maybe have a cup of coffee, email me. I’d love to meet you.

You know that scientist in the action movie who has all the right answers if only the government would just pay attention? If you want a nerdy employment-lawyer brain to help you solve HR-compliance issues proactively before the action sequence, I’m here to help. I'm not only an EEOC-approved trainer, I offer day-to-day employment counseling, workplace audits and investigations, and other prophylactic measures to keep your workplace working while you focus on running your business. And for those employers in the midst of conflict, I bring all of my know-how to bear as your zealous advocate. I’m a trial-tested, experienced litigator that has represented companies of all sizes in a veritable alphabet soup of employment law claims, such as the ADA, ADEA, CEPA, FMLA, FLSA, NJLAD, PHRA, Title VII, and USERRA. I also help clients litigate disputes involving restrictive covenants such as non-competition and non-solicitation agreements, as well as conflicts over use of trade secrets and other confidential information.
