The South African Society for Labour Law

29^th SASLAW Annual National Conference

16-17 September 2026

The Forum The Campus – Bryanston – Johannesburg

Labour law is no longer confined to traditional workplace disputes. Today’s employment landscape is influenced by global economic shifts, technological innovation, evolving employment models, changing workforce expectations and an increasingly complex legislative environment.

The 29^th SASLAW Annual National Conference will examine how these developments are reshaping labour law, while providing delegates with practical insights into navigating an ever-changing legal landscape. Drawing on both international perspectives and local experience, the conference programme has been designed to encourage meaningful dialogue around the challenges and opportunities facing the profession.

Over two engaging days, delegates will have the opportunity to participate in thought-provoking discussions that critically examine evolving labour law frameworks and recent legal developments.

The programme will feature:

• Distinguished keynote speakers
• Interactive expert panel discussions
• Practical case study presentations
• Plenary sessions across three specialised streams
• Opportunities for professional networking and collaboration

Each session has been carefully curated to provide valuable insights into emerging legislation, landmark legal developments, workplace transformation and forward-looking strategies that will influence the future of employment law.

This year the conference will be in person, so spaces will be limited. Confirm your booking today!
