  • Gain tips and coaching on your unique challenges at Expert-Led Topic Roundtables - a highly popular feature of Management Roundtable events.

Well-known NPD and project management gurus will facilitate.
  • Reference Binder complete with presentation materials - access to downloadable slides after the conference
  • Networking and social opportunities - Some of the best learning takes place at coffee breaks, lunches, or over some wine, beer and hors d'oeuvres. Generous time allowed for breaks; two social receptions are also offered. Email list of attendees (by permission) provided for post-conference networking.
  • Team benefits - Sign up with 2 of your colleagues (team of 3 or more) and save $100 each. The bigger the team, the greater the savings - and more traction to implement besides! (see Registration Info for fees)
