Top Business Innovators to Gather in Philadelphia for Caliper Global Conference

PRINCETON, N.J., March 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Caliper Corporation (www.calipercorp.com), a long-respected global talent management consulting firm that for the past 50 years has been enabling companies to turn human potential into bottom line profitability, today announced its Global Conference in Philadelphia, October 7-9, 2012. The keynote speaker, Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., whose groundbreaking work in emotional intelligence changed how intelligence is measured, will discuss the role of emotional intelligence in effective leadership.

Joining Goleman will be Dave Power of JD Power Associates, and Herb Greenberg Ph.D., founder and CEO of Caliper. These two game changers in the use of assessments will talk about the integral relationship between assessments and exceptional performance – in measuring customer satisfaction of the products and services that people purchase, and in selecting and developing the right people for a specific role.

The conference is expected to attract business decision-makers from around the globe, reflecting the diverse character of Caliper's client base. The company has advised more than 25,000 companies and assessed over 3,500,000 individuals in a variety of job functions. An advisory board of Caliper clients has helped to select the 16 sessions led by business experts that will offer conference attendees insights into topics such as leadership, eliciting excellent performance from individuals and teams, and best practices in hiring and selection of top performers.

"Daniel Goleman redefined how we assess intelligence; Dave Powers redefined how customers assess products, and Herb Greenberg redefined how employers assess potential," said Patrick Sweeney, president of Caliper. "It's a natural fit to bring together these three game changers and explore how we redefine leadership in light of today's economic challenges – and opportunities."

In his keynote, Goleman will draw from his most recent book, Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence. In addition to the opportunity to engage with Goleman in an interactive workshop, and with other business leaders during the 16 breakout sessions, conference goers will have the opportunity to network with decision-makers from around the globe throughout the two-day conference. The conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency at Penns Landing in Philadelphia. Registered conference attendees will also receive HRCI credits for particular sessions.
