This event is a great educational opportunity, but participants also say the networking opportunities are priceless. We expect nearly 200 attendees at this year’s conference!

We will also have panels of knowledgeable industry and career services staff during the Roundtable. A couple additional speakers will be announced soon. This year’s topics will set the stage for what is sure to be a remarkable event. The 2013 Roundtable Organizing Committee met in December to help provide input and select hot topics that human resource professionals, managers, university/college staff and associations within the agriculture industry are currently facing. Some of this year’s topics include:

• Evaluating Today's Talent Pipeline
• Collaborations of Industry and Education to Fill Industry Needs
• Effective Recruitment Strategies of Returning Veterans
• Engaging Multiple Generations in the Workplace Through Reward Programs

Beyond the traditional educational sessions, the Organizing Committee has planned another year of fun, social events to get in plenty of networking, such as an optional Tour of DuPont Pioneer’s Campus, the Welcome Reception, Table Topics breakfast, White Paper Development breakfast, and a fun networking dinner.

NEW: We are also offering an add-on workshop for those responsible for compensation and benefits. This special workshop on August 8 will incorporate main sessions from the Roundtable and supplemental sessions following the close of the Roundtable. Sessions will be specific to compensation and benefits issues, including Sales Compensation for Business Leaders and Marketing Benefit Programs for Maximum Employee Use.
