DAY 3—THURSDAY, OCT. 11
It’s a beautiful morning in Las Vegas,
and you make your way to the continental
breakfast. As you sip your coffee, you
think about all that you have to look forward
to today—Immersion Program offerings, work-
shops, more expo hall shopping, keynote speaker
Simon Mainwaring and, to top it all off tonight: the
Grand Banquet.
It’s 9 a.m. and the breakfast crowd begins
to disperse as individuals head toward the
various Immersion Programs. As you approach the
right room, you see a colleague from your company
walking into an adjacent location, and you smile and wave.
As planned, your team is divvying up the various education
offerings today.
The Immersion Program was as engaging as it was informative.
Your head is still swimming with what you’ve just learned as you
make your way toward your next workshop.
The content is great and the speakers are engaging—and before
you know it the workshop wraps up, just as your stomach begins
to grumble. You make your way to the always-lively expo hall
where the buffet lunch awaits.
A hot meal and a refreshing beverage later and you see it’s
time to meet your colleague for some educational expo hall
shopping. With more than 40 categories of staffing industry products and services
at the Staffing World expo, there’s nothing you can’t find.
It’s 2: 30 p.m., and you can’t believe the next workshop is your last at Staffing
World 2012. You find yourself wishing you could hit rewind and start all over again.
You’re glad your registration package includes the workshop recordings so you can
revisit all the valuable content again.
ET A GOOD SEAT FOR
Your workshop finale is outstanding. As you help yourself to a cool drink and
a snack just outside the room, you continue the discussion with a few of
your fellow workshop participants. You all exchange business cards and
agree to contact one another again.
It’s 3:45 and time for the Staffing World Closing General Session. You want to get a
good seat for the keynote presentation by Simon Mainwaring. You read about him
in a recent issue of Staffing Success magazine, and were intrigued by his thoughts
on branding, technology, and the staffing industry.
