IMPACT 2009: An ESI Virtual Event to help you build talent and drive results worldwide
IMPACT 2009 is a virtual event which is similar to an in-person event or trade show but instead of attending in person, you simply log onto the event at your computer from the comfort of your office or home. From there, you'll do what you'd normally do at a trade show: watch presentations, chat with subject matter experts, speak with booth representatives, network with other professionals attending the event, and register for giveaways.

The event will remain open for the next 6 months for everyone who registers. At any time during this period, you can access the available free resources; however, booth representatives will only be available on the day of the event.

IT'S COMPLETELY FREE!!!
