Today marks the start of the Motivation Show, which takes over McCormick Place through September 25 and is expected to draw some 10,000 business execs from fields such as PR, marketing, and human resources.
This year's conference program, dubbed "Strategies to Motivate, Empower, and Reward," includes more than 60 seminars divided into five learning tracks, including "employee engagement and recognition" and "consumer marketing." A slew of "best practice case studies" will feature corporate speakers, among them a health promotion specialist from the Kellogg Company and Hard Rock International's senior director of training and development. The show will also feature more than 2,000 exhibits, including an "innovative products gallery" displaying new products from companies such as Whirlpool, Toyota, and Coca-Cola.
