Navigating the Future of Fertility & Family-Building Benefits
July 17, 2025 | San Francisco, CA
Today’s fertility and family-building benefits offerings continue to rapidly evolve! From assisted reproductive technologies (ART) to adoption, surrogacy, and fertility preservation, modern programs have expanded to include hormone treatment support and guidance for menopause, low testosterone, and gender affirming care. In addition, with shifting state mandates and groundbreaking changes on the horizon in California, now is the time to reassess your benefits strategy to stay competitive, compliant, and cost-effective.
Join us on July 17 in San Francisco for a day of learning and networking with Bay Area HR and benefits leaders. We will highlight the latest fertility and family building benefits trends, feature real-world case studies through an interactive panel discussion with fellow HR leaders, and equip you with actionable strategies to help navigate the changing fertility benefits landscape.
This complimentary seminar qualifies for 4.5 SHRM and HRCI PDCs, and includes a buffet luncheon.
