2027 Annual PELRAS Conference
March 2, 2027 – March 5, 2027
Bring Your Team. Take Home Practical Solutions.
Join us Wednesday, March 2 through Friday, March 5 at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center to tackle the labor relations and personnel challenges facing your municipality.
From employee relations questions to difficult workplace decisions, PELRAS offers practical guidance you can bring back to your organization. Learn from experienced labor relations specialists through panel discussions, in-depth seminars, real-world case studies, role-playing exercises, and Q&A sessions.
Bring your questions, exchange ideas with peers, and leave with strategies to put into practice. Access to PELRAS labor attorneys, comprehensive reference materials, and municipal administrators from across the Commonwealth makes this an opportunity to strengthen both your knowledge and your professional network.
Bring a Colleague, and Both Save
One conference. More perspectives. Greater value for your municipality.
Bring colleagues with different responsibilities to explore the conference’s four breakout sessions, compare what you learn, and return with ideas your team can put to work together.
The more qualifying attendees your municipality sends, the lower the regular registration rate per person.

Your Conference Reference Binder — $175
Follow along. Make it your own. Keep it within reach.
Spend less time downloading and printing and more time learning. This comprehensive three-ring binder brings together the slide decks and related materials for every conference session, printed and organized with room for your handwritten notes.
Capture an attorney’s insight, flag a helpful resource, or jot down an idea to discuss with your team. Then bring your binder back to the office as a convenient reference for the workplace questions and challenges that arise throughout the year.
All conference materials are available electronically through the event app, and every registrant receives a link to the electronic binder. The printed binder saves you the work of printing and assembling the materials yourself.
Add a binder to your registration for $175. It will be ready for you when you pick up your badge at conference registration.
