More this Year: There’s more networking, mentoring, speakers, and Web 2.0 interactivity!  We added Friday evening and Saturday morning sessions, lunch, career fair, and an additional mentoring session.

The conference includes all the following:

  • Friday evening opening mixer and program
  • All workshops, panel discussions, and keynotes
  • Mentoring Circles
  • Networking
  • Career fair
  • Web 2.0 real-time interaction with panels
  • Lunch
  • Wine tasting reception
  • Gala dinner and entertainment on Saturday

Mentoring Circles are a signature Ascend program, where you meet and several other attendees sit with an Executive Mentor and get career advice directly from him or her on a key tactic, skill or strategic topic.  Nowhere else can you get this level of direct access to executives in a setting that is focused on you.  This year, we’ve added an additional session, so now you get TWO Mentoring Circles, each with a different Executive Mentor.

Recession proof your career and succeed no matter the economic environment. Are you concerned about the economic downturn?  Worried about what might happen with corporate restructurings, layoffs, mergers and acquisitions?  Learn tactics and strategies for Reinventing for the Long-Term.

Several networking sessions are included so that you can expand your network.  People succeed because of the people they know and their networks.  You’ll meet like-minded, success-oriented professionals.  Your next career or business move may be with someone you meet at the conference or the Career Fair.  You won’t know and reap the rewards unless you’re there!
