What You Can't Miss at the CWS Summit
Attending an industry-specific conference is one of the best ways to reinvigorate your current role...
The CWS Solutions Forum and Summit is just around the corner. Hosted by the global advisor on contingent workforce management, Staffing Industry Analyst (SIA), the four-day event is split between the CWS Solutions Forum (Oct. 6-7) and the CWS Summit (Oct. 8-9). Whether or not you plan to attend, you don't have to miss a beat with these key resources.
To start, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that registration is still open, but time is quickly running out. If you are considering making the trip to Vegas, check out this helpful FAQ page before purchasing your ticket. It includes information on group discounts, registration options for attending one or both events, and what to do if you need to swap out an existing attendee.
If you have your ticket and suitcase ready to go, we've collected some helpful links to assist you in navigating the show; including where to enter to win a Sony PlayStation, Apple iPad, and YouTube Jawbone Fit Band. If you can't make it this year, fear not. We've got a special section for you down below.
