The i4cp 2011 Annual Conference Has Begun

Starting Line



The i4cp 2011 Annual Conference has officially started. For those of you not in attendance, follow us on Twitter @i4cp or on Facebook. If you're at the conference and are like me and can't just sit still and do nothing else, feel free to tweet along with #i4cp2011.

The event formally began yesterday with three highly received workshops on evidence-based HR, talent management metrics and strategic workforce planning. Following those workshops, attendees were greeted to an interactive concert by three Grammy Award-winning songwriters Anna Wilson, Billy Dean and Monty Powell.

Known as Song Sessions, the three singer-songwriters helped write a song about the themes of the conference in real-time - with attendee input, of course.

Stay tuned over the next several days for more updates both on Twitter and here at the Productivity Blog!
