Plan now to attend the 2007 National Conference on the Creative Economy, set for October 24-25, 2007, at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner. The conference will examine the role that a strong, creative workforce plays in the growth and success of businesses and communities in an information-based economy. TelecomHUB participants get a special rate of $325 – type in “Hub” when prompted at the end of the registration process.
The conference (www.creativeeconomies.org) will feature compelling keynote speakers: Professor Richard Florida, author of The Rise of the Creative Class and The Flight of the Creative Class; Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman, author of The World is Flat; and Alvin Toffler, author of Future Shock, The Third Wave and Revolutionary Wealth.
And there's more: FORTUNE and FORTUNE SMALL BUSINESS columnist Anne Fisher will lead two panel discussions: one about FORTUNE’s "Best Companies to Work For" list and another about how emerging firms can compete with established companies for creative talent. Robert J. O'Neill, executive director of the International City/County Management Association, will moderate a panel discussion on how creative communities can help build a diversified local economy. Joe Watson, Reston-based CEO and author of "Without Excuses: Unleash the Power of Diversity to Build Your Business," will lead a discussion of using diversity to build a culture of corporate creativity.
These breakthrough thinkers and a host of intriguing panelists will address topics such as:
Attracting and retaining the creative class
Creating a culture of creativity in the workplace to improve the bottom line
Using diversity to promote creativity
Harnessing the power of an aging workforce
Boosting creativity in homeland security industries
Improving communities and the economy through creative companies
The conference is being organized by the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority, a TelecomHUB sponsor, and is being sponsored in part by the Fairfax County government and FORTUNE magazine.
