This month, we’ll be heading to [DMEC’s FMLA/ADAAA Employer Compliance Conference]( http://dmec.org/compliance-conference/) in Washington, DC. This is one of our favorite conferences of the year, and we’re looking forward to connecting with absence and disability management professionals and discussing the complex challenges they face today.
The conference is taking place April 20 – 22, and registration is still open. Here are five reasons to attend:
1. **Hear about real-word scenarios**
