The Symposium is one of New Jerseyâ€s longest-running forums designed to inspire and educate an audience of all ages, professions and industries regarding business trends, challenges and best practices. This year an esteemed group of industry leaders will examine how the days of receiving a gold watch from an employer after 25 or more years of service are over and how it is becoming increasingly challenging for employers to engage and motivate employees in todayâ€s business world. Attendees of the event will learn how the corporate landscape has changed and what the future holds; ways to achieve long-term career satisfaction; how managers and business owners can drive high performance through engaged talent; successful retention and engagement strategies; and how young workers can grow, lead and seek new opportunities within their respective organizations.

In addition to a keynote presentation, the event will feature a panel of experts including Elizabeth Walker, vice president, global talent management for Campbell Soup Company; Dan Schawbel, managing partner of Millennial Branding; and Jennifer Schramm, manager of workplace trends and forecasting at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
