Manage Risk and Master Audits—Register for the 2026 ASA Staffing Law & Compliance Conference

That’s why you need to be prepared for new legal and legislative realities. The ASA Staffing Law & Compliance Conference has been developed to help you stay ahead of compliance issues before they turn into audits, claims, or costly missteps.

Come to the Grand Hyatt in Washington, DC, May 7–8 for practical, staffing-specific guidance on topics such as federal and state enforcement trends, immigration and Form I-9 compliance, using artificial intelligence tools responsibly, protecting data and client relationships, and more.
