Forum 2010 - Preparing a Competitive U.S. Workforce - Reflection, Reinvestment, Recovery will be held March 6 - 9, 2010 at the Renaissance Washington DC Hotel in our nation's capital.

It is a vital time for the workforce industry with the influx of stimulus funding and an administration focused on recovering a struggling economy. With record unemployment across the country there has been no more important time for workforce organizations to raise the bar on service delivery and innovation.

Forum 2010 will bring leaders from workforce organizations, economic development, education, business, and others together to meet these challenges head on and to work together to prepare a competitive U.S. workforce.
