Take part in these two live Webcasts from Las Vegas

If you can’t join your colleagues in Vegas, perhaps you would like to be there in spirit by taking part in these two live Webcasts, presented on Wednesday May 18 as part of the AIA/CES Registered Provider Conference, held in conjunction with the AIA National Convention and Design Expo. Both hour-long Webcasts—“Nine Shift: From Cheating to Collaboration” and “Forecasting Programs and Markets”—are offered by the conference’s keynote speakers and offer one Learning Unit.

CESW01 Nine Shift: From Cheating to Collaboration
Wednesday, May 18, 8:30–9:30 a.m.
In the next 20 years, approximately 75 percent of our lives will change dramatically. We know this because it happened once before, between 1900 and 1920. In both periods, a new technology becomes dominant and results in great change. The book, Nine Shift, reveals the uncanny similarities between today and 100 years ago, examining the parallel changes that occur in the two transition periods and the resulting forces that restructure society and a new economic era. Come explore the excitement of the 21st century.

Join presenter William A. Draves, president of the Learning Education Research Network and author of Nine Shift for this session, which will address the nine major shifts currently taking place in business, life, and education and the implications of each of these shifts. (If you are one of the first 100 people to register for just the Nine Shift session or both sessions together, receive your own free copy of the book Nine Shift: Work, life and education in the 21st century. After registering, send an email to info@lern.org requesting your free copy.

CESW08 Forecasting Programs and Markets
Wednesday, May 18, 1:15–2:15 p.m.
So, you think you’re an experienced marketer? Do you already know how to maximize effectiveness and efficiency? Is it more effective to do it faster and cheaper? Explore the practical side of applied research with presenter Jack Tanis, PhD, director of applied research and sales for Steelcase inc.
