Halogen Software Customer Conference Heads West in 2013

Halogen's largest conference to date features thought leadership from Chester Elton and industry analysts and more than 50 sessions focused on helping attendees build a world-class workforce

OTTAWA, May 24, 2013 /CNW/ - At the 8^th annual Halogen Software Customer Conference, Halogen Software customers will gain insight into driving talent management strategy and execution. Taking place at the Green Valley Ranch Resort and Spa in Henderson, Nevada, from September 22 to 24, the conference features more than 50 valuable learning and education sessions, making it the largest Halogen customer conference to date.

Firing up the opening keynote is best-selling business author and acclaimed speaker Chester Elton, whose work has been described as a "must read for modern managers" by Larry King. Based on his breakthrough research, Elton will present a simple 7-step roadmap all leaders can follow to create a high-achieving culture within their own teams.

"Recognizing and appreciating your employees is an essential part of keeping and engaging your best people," says Elton. "The numbers are irrefutable. Managers that give recognition, that build better teams get to their business goals faster." For more information on what Elton will discuss, see his video.

The Conference will continue to heat up with other insightful keynote addresses, a significantly expanded agenda, workshops and training:
