Where

Reed Smith's Chicago office

10 South Wacker Drive,
Chicago, IL 60606

We will facilitate a discussion among in-house counsel and HR professionals so that you can benchmark, share recent trends that you are seeing in the employment space, and discuss best practices for handling new challenges that continue to arise with the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI), and an ever-changing landscape of new laws and regulations. The discussion will be in person and facilitated by our knowledgeable panel of attorneys, who will offer in-depth discussions, critical updates, and actionable strategies on:

  • Utilization of AI in the workplace, and as a tool to increase the volume of litigation being filed;
  • Employees’ improper use of branding on their personal social media and influencer pages;
  • Developments in Illinois employment legislation, regulations, and case law;
  • Continued challenges associated with getting employees back to the office; and
  • Much more!

We look forward to welcoming you. If you have specific topics you would like to discuss, please let us know, and we will add them to the agenda.
