Look ahead one year, five years, ten years—what do you see? This conference will provide a guided tour of the trends and innovations that are shaping the future of work. Our goal is to provide the cutting–edge information, promising practices and tools that shift our perspective from defensive to offensive and equip us to take on challenges and seek out opportunities rather than simply respond to what is.

Join us at the 2009 Work Life Conference, where:

• Members of the new presidential administration will discuss their plans for addressing human resources, work life and diversity issues;
• Scott Cowen, president of Tulane University, will talk about his unique insights on the next generation of employees and provide advice on what you can do to attract top talent;
• Leading experts will share what’s new in work life, present cutting–edge technologies (including gaming technology and social media) and discuss the latest research of relevance to business leaders; and
• State and local leaders will provide the results of innovative, public–private collaborations that they have engaged in to create change in their communities.

We are especially excited to be in New Orleans this year, as this city provides us with lessons about what cooperation and leadership can accomplish.

Who should attend?
Executives in Human Resources, including work life, diversity, talent management, and workforce strategists, as well as non–HR executives who are interested in learning more about these topics. We look forward to seeing you in March!
