Presenters:

Tom Engel of Vantage Point HR has over 25 years of customer-facing, professional experience, in the areas of IT, human resources and marketing – with companies as diverse as Sage, Intel and Providence Health & Services. He works with a wide range of industries, non-profits and small businesses - and consciously chooses not to specialize on a client industry - which he feels broadens his perspective and makes him a better professional. No matter what you do, make or deliver, he doesn't care if you wear a tie, are covered in grime or curse like a sailor - as long as you're ethical and strive to do good work.

Attorney Michael Jonas of Rational Unicorn Legal Services
