Special Future of Work/Mobile Workforce Summit

We're very pleased that we were invited by Realcomm to lead a pre-conference track at the Realcomm 2009 Summit Conference in Chicago next June. We certainly enjoyed engaging with over 35 active and articulate participants in an afternoon filled with very lively conversation.

We are also very pleased that Citrix Online, Herman Miller, ProgressiveAE, and Spenser Communications sponsored the Future of Work Summit. Please join us in thanking them once again for their support.

Looking Ahead

Here's what's on our calendars right now:

We've been invited to work with the IFMA Foundation and a world-class team of authors and thought leaders to produce a practical action guide for facilities managers that will help them contribute to corporate cost-reductions and efficiency improvements right now, when the need is so high. The book is currently being developed; we are committed publishing it in advance of the October World Workplace 2009 conference in Orlando, Florida, where we and the other chapter authors will be presenting our research and tips for surviving the current economy.

We also continue to travel regularly on private business with individual clients. But our July/August plans are still up in the air (which of course is where we find ourselves on almost every business trip). Candidly, the summer is hard to predict. You never know where we might end up (and neither do we). Stay tuned for last-minute plans that depend completely on our beloved clients and future clients.

If we're in your area and have a few minutes, we'd love to see you for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or "refreshments" any time after 5 PM local time (and you know what that means).

And please follow us on Twitter for more current updates on the future of work and our travel plans:

Give us a shout or send us a note, and if we can squeeze out some time, we'd love to say hello and share some good ideas the old-fashioned way: face-to-face, glass in hand.
