The 2008 AESC Americas Conference
With an overflowing general session, presentations by many prominent speakers, and new members and sponsors in attendance, this year's Americas Conference was one of the best yet.
Held at the Metropolitan Club in New York City, attendance by executive search professionals reached a record high of over 275. Topical presentations, forum discussions and networking breaks allowed attendees to "Focus on What Matters" and explore the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for executive search.
