What We're Doing Behind the Scenes
For those that have taken advantage of the complimentary registration, you are aware of the event’s progress thus far – but over the next few weeks, the real fun will begin! Behind the scenes, a team of event managers and coordinators is working to facilitate the needs of all attendees. This process includes everything from operational processes like hotel and room reservations and gala dinner menus, to last-minute correspondence with attendees – all to ensure the smoothest possible matching process. Just two weeks before the event (around the first week of September), each attendee will receive a catalog of confirmed solution providers and seminars via email. You will have to digitally select the solution providers that stand out to you, along with the seminars you would like to attend. When attendees submit this information – it initiates the matching process. This is the most crucial step for the success of the event! Using this information, the Training & Development Summit Team begins building each attendee's personal itinerary, taking into account individual upcoming projects, selected providers and chosen seminars. During registration at the Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans, each attendee will receive their itinerary along with their event program and will finally be able to put a face to the name of the Training & Development Summit Team! Should you have any questions regarding your attendance at the Summit, or would like to join us at the event as a last-minute participant, please reach out to Event Manager Liz Parsloe at liz.parsloe@forumevents.com 
Chicago Summit Success!
The HR & Employee Benefits Summit successfully ran alongside the Training & Development Summit this July in Chicago, IL. We are pleased to announce the numerous testimonials we have received from the combined events and have heard of multiple new business deals that have since arisen. HR & Employee Benefits executives along with Training & Development directors arrived for breakfast and registration in the ballroom of the Hilton in Downtown Chicago. Instantly – the Forum team knew the attendees would be a pleasure to work with as all the guests were eager to begin networking. Following a short but sweet opening presentation – the ballroom was buzzing with introductions as delegates met one-on-one with solution providers! These meetings continued throughout the day, separated by our healthier lunch menu and multiple coffee breaks – all of which acted as additional casual networking opportunities.
That evening, attendees met for a cocktail reception before heading to a grand Gala dinner. The evening was electric as everyone had already made formal introductions and were quickly on the way to becoming friends! Groups mingled at the reception and the party continued through to the next wild event: Casino night. Guests enjoyed an open bar throughout the evening as many laughs were shared around poker and roulette tables. The dealers joined in, giving insight and creating an electric atmosphere as three lucky winners duked it out to win several bottles of wine. The next day – attendees regrouped for another hot breakfast before heading straight to additional meetings. By this time – the majority of attendees have met so the atmosphere blossoms and meetings become especially lively. The event closes at mid-day and is followed by one final lunch. Here, attendees make their final connections before heading home – all sharing the same intimate experience and willing to reconnect with vendors from the event.
