Each LeaveLab Live event brings together a small group of leave and accommodations professionals for an engaging keynote presentation followed by a roundtable discussion over lunch. Expect real conversations, peer-driven insights, and a chance to connect with the people who truly understand the work you do every day. Every event is facilitated by an AbsenceSoft expert and anchored to the latest trends and challenges shaping the leave and accommodations landscape.
