Our conference chairs are busy planning the 2009 event, but here's an overview of the 2008 highlights.

2008 Conference Overview

Wednesday, April 16: 8:45 -10 a.m.
In his best-selling book, A Whole New Mind, Dan Pink persuasively argued that the era of the knowledge worker (“left brainer”) is ending, and the era of the creative, big picture thinker (“right brainer”) is dawning. In this entertaining and provocative presentation, Mr. Pink updates us on some of the ways this important trend is manifesting itself in the federal government and other sectors. Always provocative and entertaining, Dan will offer hands-on tools and tips, as well as real-life examples, to help you navigate in this new "Federal World."

CLOSING KEYNOTE:
Stretch the Circle Wider: Providing Real Opportunities
for People With Disabilities

Christine M. Griffin, Commissioner, EEOC, Washington, D.C.

Thursday, April 17: 1:30 - 2:45 p.m.
In this truly compelling and inspirational keynote address, Commissioner Griffin will review recent EEOC initiatives on disability and the impact they may have on your workplace.
