NEW THIS YEAR - Summit Sessions "Captured" Visually
At SUMMIT 2011 you will be introduced to "visual language" - the strategic use of images and words to demonstrate essential points. Each of the four sessions at Summit will be captured in real-time by visual journalist Eileen Clegg of Visual Insight. Eileen is a professional writer who has used art to frame ideas as far back as she can remember. She was a daily news journalist for 20 years, has written numerous books and articles, and has conducted research on learning since 1999. She brought her art and writing together professionally in 2000 to develop a communication tool that helps people understand and embrace new concepts through visual communication.

 

SUMMIT 2011 Expo
If you're looking for a product or service to help you with your HR challenges, the Summit Expo is sure to have what you need.  Over 90 companies are expected to be on hand offering you an extensive array of products and services including compensation and recognition programs, HRIS and other computer software applications, consulting services, executive search, staffing agencies, investment and legal services, outplacement/career management services, plus more!

Door prize drawings will be held during the afternoon Refreshment Break in the Exhibit Hall.
