R. I.
Conference Day 2
My second day was
filled with presentations and awards. Chocolatier
Ferrero
won the award for the 'top corporate reputation!' Mr. McLaren, Mr.
Edlund, and Prof. Dr. van Riel
lead a great panel discussion and dining at Hotel
Krasnapalsky was a once in a lifetime experience!
In addition, making more new friends, connecting with
old friends is part of what coming to the
Reputation Institute 2009 Conference is all about!
Tomorrow, I run my interactive poster session! Wish me
luck!
