What if you could learn to take your sourcing game to another level from the top sourcers in the world, literally by your side? SourceCon 2010 introduces something that could speed your development by years, and you come home from the conference having gotten more actual sourcing done in just two hours than a whole day at your home/office. Bring your toughest requisitions/candidate profiles and get ready to blow your mind with new ways to build pipelines, faster than you ever thought possible.

Industry leaders Shally Steckerl, Glenn Gutmacher and ten more of the world's most-skilled CyberSleuths will recommend special applications and plug-ins to download, powerful methods and tool gems, and other tips to maximize what's already on your computer and how you use it. If you were ever unsure how to get something to work or wondered if you were doing it the best way, this is the testing ground where you'll get turbocharged.

Note that this is no hypothetical presentation of pre-canned examples: Every moment is focused on your sourcing needs, and your colleagues won't believe how much you got done while in San Diego. For many companies, this lab alone will justify sending their team to SourceCon. Bring your laptop, we'll provide the Internet connectivity (we will have a limited number of computers for sourcers who are unable to bring theirs).
