The Sounds of Pleasure Island |

Be escorted through the streets of Downtown Disney to Pleasure Island's East End where you can enjoy, not one, but two clubs exclusively reserved for our conference attendees. It's time to hang ten on the Rock 'n' Roll Beach Club dance floor - laid back and casual, reminiscent of life by the seaside. Our DJ will kick off the event spinning classics from the 70s to the 90s. The club really gets rockin' when the live band hits the stage for our exclusive rock and roll performance. Or experience MOTiON, a contemporary two-level jazz club with elaborate lighting effects. Head to the second level to enjoy a great view of the stage and dancing to music provided by our DJ. Throughout the evening, play carnival games just outside MOTiON. Buffet Dinner and Transportation provided. Beer and Wine Cash Bars are available.
One ticket for the Sounds of Pleasure Island is included in your full conference registration (not included in Student or One Day Registrations). Additional tickets are available for $60.00 each.

Master Series - Corporate Blogging 101 |
| |
A web log, otherwise known as a blog, is an instant publishing tool that anyone can use to add fresh content and information to a web page. Almost anyone can create a blog or add comments to an already-existing one. Research estimates that blogs are growing at a rate of 3,000 per day-currently over 10 million, more than double the number one year ago.
For human resources professionals, blogging can be a tool to improve both internal and external communications and a cost-effective way to start a conversation with-and get instant feedback from-employees, customers and stakeholders. This new communication medium raises questions for human resources, such as privacy concerns and freedom of speech.
