Where Is The Conference Held?
For the first-time in CalGovHR’s history, we will be hosting the annual Conference & Expo™ in fabulous Las Vegas. We chose this location because it’s one of the world’s most famous and iconic cities, offering a host of possibilities including convenient access via Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) and car travel, proximity to Southern California, world-class amenities, fine dining, shopping, entertainment and fun. All of these factors contribute to an excellent learning atmosphere where you will be making lifelong professional connections while taking in all the amazing opportunities Las Vegas has to offer.
On the Strip, you can take a spin on the world’s largest observation wheel, the High Roller, ride on a Venetian gondola or watch the iconic Fountains of Bellagio. Away from the Strip, Las Vegas has an collection of acclaimed museums covering atomic testing, neon signs and the mob--topics deeply connected to the city. Outside of the city, the Mojave Desert is filled with hiking and biking trails, scenic drives and expansive desert vistas. Learn more about all the attractions the city has to offer here.
