Someone once asked what it would be like to attend Top Gun academy for employee and labor relations. That question became the LaborVision Forum.
Twice a year, 25–30 senior practitioners gather in a closed room to share new ideas, dissect emerging threats, and have the kind of candid, off-the-record conversations that do not happen anywhere else. The agenda is not handed down from a podium. It is built around what attendees want to discuss and, more importantly, what they are willing and able to share.
For more than 15 years and 30+ events, that format has made LVF one of the few gatherings leaders actively protect on their calendars.

Spring 2026: What We Covered
Our Spring gathering produced some of the sharpest, most candid discussion we have had in years. Here is what the room took away. There is more where this came from.
› |
Early signals matter. Union campaigns often begin with unresolved employee concerns rather than outside organizers. |
› |
Vulnerability awareness is essential. Organizations must understand how internal issues can be exploited by unions or advocacy groups. |
› |
The organizing ecosystem is expanding. Worker centers, advocacy groups, and community coalitions are increasingly involved in campaigns. |
› |
Workplace technology must be introduced carefully. AI adoption requires transparent communication and attention to employee trust. |
› |
Leadership capability is critical. Frontline managers remain the most important early warning system for employee relations issues. |
Join us in Chicago this fall for more of the same: sharp practitioners, timely topics, and conversations you will not find anywhere else.
