The fourth annual PeopleLaw Conference, at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, will once again bring together thought leaders in the PEO, staffing, and gig economy industries to discuss common legal challenges and solutions.
You will hear from our firm’s PEO and Staffing lawyers, along with industry association executives, on the latest trends in a series of engaging and interactive sessions. Each session will provide you with practical skills you can put to use right away. You’ll also have plenty of time to network with your peers to gain invaluable insights and learn from each other.
Perched atop the Palos Verdes Peninsula with 270-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Terranea offers unparalleled vistas and relaxation, all under an hour away from Los Angeles. The sprawling 102-acre resort includes a nine-hole, par-3 golf course; a 50,000 square foot indoor/outdoor spa; and several restaurants serving meals made from locally sourced products. Whatever adventures you chose, extraordinary experiences await you at Terranea.
Accommodations are $425 per night (excluding resort fee, taxes and fees).Â
