There are plenty of good reasons to attend the IAEWS Spring Member Congress (and bring a delegation of your coworkers, as well). As always, there will be one-of-a-kind opportunities for networking, deal making and peer-to-peer discussions. However, for this Congress, there are at least two other very important reasons for being there:

First, the closing session will feature a panel of HR and recruiting executives from Groupon, Hyatt and DaVita. Entitled The Consumer’s Calculus, their discussion will explore what differentiates a vendor in their mind, which variables have the greatest impact on their decision-making and what changes they expect in both their budgets and strategies in the next 12-24 months. The panel moderator will be Laurie Ruettimann of Punk Rock HR fame.

And second, we have added a special update on the hard fought victory won by the .JOBS Charter Compliance Coalition. You’ll get all of the details on the final weeks that led up to ICANN’s momentous decision that vindicated the IAEWS position on the proposed expansion of the top level domain. In addition, we’ll introduce a number of new initiatives that the association is rolling out to counter some of the claims made about our industry during this debate.
