Pabian Law Clients,
As you have hopefully seen, registration for this year’s Staffing Summit opens on Sunday, February 1st. Registration will be available through our brand-new Staffing Summit website at www.staffingsummit.com and https://www.eventleaf.com/e/2026StaffingSummit.
I am writing to strongly encourage you to attend this year’s Staffing Summit that is being held in Portland, Maine from July 20th-22nd. It is truly one of the most impactful events we host—and one that consistently delivers real, tangible results for employers. Here’s why the 2026 Staffing Summit is a must-attend event:
- It is the only conference in the country specifically designed for employers using the H-2B visa program.
- Immigration law is changing constantly, and having a clear understanding of where things stand—and what’s coming next—is critical to your planning and success.
- The Summit is intentionally designed to create recruiting connections between opposite-season employers.
- These connections directly lead to filled roles.
- Approximately 50% of the Summit is dedicated to structured networking, so even our introverted attendees can participate comfortably and effectively.
- The education goes well beyond H-2B visas.
- Many sessions focus on best practices for being a successful seasonal employer.
- We have 12 outstanding speakers scheduled for this year.
- Over the years, I have seen a direct correlation between H-2B success and consistent Staffing Summit attendance.
- This year’s Summit will be held in Portland, Maine—a fantastic city and our first Northeast location in eight years, making the event more accessible to many first-time attendees.
- Attendees can earn educational credits for several associations, including CMAA, HFTP, and SHRM.
- Most importantly, attendees love the Staffing Summit. Last year’s event received an average rating of 9.35 out of 10.
Each year, the Staffing Summit sells out, and I fully expect the same this year. I strongly encourage you to register early—not only to secure your spot, but also to take advantage of Early Bird pricing, which saves you $50. We also have several popular activities planned, including a Portland harbor cruise with limited capacity that will sell out quickly.
Early Bird pricing for Pabian Law clients is $700, or $650 for Seasonal Connect members.
Optional add-ons include:
- Pre-Conference Education: $125
- Harbor Cruise: about $200
If you have any questions about the Staffing Summit or want to discuss why I believe it is such an important investment, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to talk about my favorite event of the year.
I look forward to seeing many of you in Portland, Maine this July.
Thank you,
Keith
