CAMEX 2009: Campus Market Expo

Jump-start your CAMEX experience with one of the opening Catalyst Sessions. Then dig into application at your store via the follow-on Catalyst Discussion Forum. Catalyst Sessions are designed to engage you in "deep thinking" about issues or trends critical to successful campus retail. Afterward, join the related Catalyst Discussion Forum round table session targeted for your store size and discuss the implications and applications of the Catalyst Session.

Tim Sanders is on a mission: to get you excited about participating in social responsibility, sustainability, and employee development projects. Why? Companies that nurture people, communities, and the planet will have stronger brands, better sales, and healthier bottom lines. Tim serves up a catalyst message for CAMEX 2009 from his new book Saving The World At Work: What companies and individuals can do to go beyond making a profit to making a difference, (Doubleday, Fall 2008). In his talk, he’ll outline how book sellers can innovate for good and influence customers and partners to do the same. Also the author of Love Is The Killer App: How To Win Business and Influence Friends (a New York Times and international bestseller) and The Likeability Factor (also a bestseller), Tim is the CEO of Deeper Media Incorporated and keeps busy advising business and public leaders on next-generation strategies. Tim is a frequent media guest, most notably as the subject of a cover story in Fast Company (2002), and previously served as the Chief Solutions Officer at Yahoo! Let Tim share his passionate new mission with you!

Tim Sander's appearance is sponsored in part by Doubleday. Doubleday has graciously donated a limited quantity of Tim's book to be given to session attendees. Tim will hold a book signing following his Catalyst Session and follow-on Discussion Forums.
