Attend this event to hear Chicago's Innovation Leaders and HR Executives provide models of business innovation you can use today.  This hands-on lab will help you unlock your creativity while learning how to stimulate innovation within your organizational culture.  We'll examine business solutions for your most complex HR challenges.  An optional session will connect attendees with several local non-profits seeking innovative solutions to their HR concerns.

The House of Blues, normally staging top-ranked entertainment acts, will provide a perfect backdrop for our HR VIPs.  What better place than the 'main stage' to orchestrate solutions to this critical business issue!  Register early....all top acts at the HOB sell out; this one will too!
