Career Conference Keynotes

Where Do I Go from Here in My Life? Dick Bolles, best-selling author of What Color Is Your Parachute? will kick off the conference. Dick will follow up his presentation with a full hour of Q&A from conference attendees.

Build and Manage Your Brand (i.e., You)! Stephen Rose, senior community manager for Microsoft Windows OS, will share insights about the value of your personal brand. A strong brand can improve your odds of being hired or finding your next role through the online communities you participate in, and so much more.

LinkedIn Secrets for Job Seekers
Lindsey Pollak, bestselling career advice author and LinkedIn spokesperson, will share her insights on next generation career trends, as well as explain strategies and best practices to leverage LinkedIn at every stage of your job search.

IT Salary Survey Results
John Reed from Robert Half Technology will present key findings from the IT salary survey. Learn why it's still difficult for hiring managers to recruit top talent and which skills are most in demand among CIOs.

"Super Cert" Example: SQL Server
Do you work with SQL Server? If so, you already know a lot about the product. How can you take that existing knowledge and turn it into SQL Server certification? We can't teach you everything you need to pass a SQL Server exam in one session, but there is a lot we can do.
