ASP's annual conference is the nation's premier forum for professional discussion and exchange of information and experiences among strategic planning practitioners. The 2008 ASP Conference features two full days bringing together thought leaders and practitioners for proceedings dedicated to advancing all aspects of strategic thinking, planning and action. The theme of this year's conference is "Strategic Planning & Action: Driving Growth From Change". At this highly interactive conference, you will learn effective tools and techniques for strategy formulation and implementation based on real-world case demonstrations and discussion.

This year's conference agenda will feature keynote presentations from top leaders in business, academia and not-for-profit organizations. Concurrent sessions will be offered multiple times throughout the conference to allow for all attendees that are interested to partake. Several "deep dive" workshops will offer those seeking a special concentration and advanced understanding in a few very selected strategic topics.

Additional networking time is built into the schedule this year for meeting new colleagues and sharing experiences. We have a Sunday evening event planned to kick-off what promises to be the most exciting conference yet!

Conference sponsorship opportunities are also available. For more information regarding sponsorships, please contact Dominic Harwood.
