What to expect at the NAPBS 2016 Mid-Year Conference

NAPBS Mid-Year Legislative and Regulatory Conference kicks off in Washington D.C. The event focuses on regulation, legislation, education, and compliance related to the background screening industry, as well as offering networking opportunities for background screening professionals. Following the formal opening ceremony on Sunday, Monday’s schedule is packed with educational sessions. Content includes discussion around recent legislation, advisory panels on key challenges such as avoiding litigation, and insight into current trends impacting the background screening industry such as the ban the box movement. Tuesday continues the conversation around current events impacting the industry, such as the legalization of marijuana and privacy issues. Interspersed throughout the educational sessions will be Vendor Demonstrations during which companies that supply products or services to the industry can showcase these in a 50-minute timeslot. Following the conference, attendees are invited to participate in NAPBS Advocacy Day on Wednesday, April 6th. While MYB is NAPBS accredited and has attended the NAPBS conferences previously, we will not be sending any team members to Washington for this particular event. We’ll be following closely online, though, and looking forward to learning about the important conversations that will be happening over the next few days!]]>
