 Thursday, May 15, 2008 to Sunday, May 18, 2008 at The Loews New Orleans Hotel
 Early registration discounts - April 7. Final deadline - April 21.
 
 This year’s theme for the APDF Exchange is “Think Bigger” and there’s no better city than New Orleans to “think bigger” as you strategically position your firm for 2008 and 2009. The keynote speaker for the exchange is Larry Keeley, an internationally recognized visionary on the topic of strategic innovation and president of Doblin Inc.  Renowned economist Jeff Dietrich, from the Institute for Trend Research, will give much-needed insights on today’s economy.  We will also learn about disaster planning from Winnie Hart, president and creative director of the H Agency, based in New Orleans and Houston. New for this year’s exchange is “Business Issues Roundtables” – a chance for you to bring real-world business challenges to a forum of your peers for advice, counsel and deep problem-solving. In addition to dynamic working sessions and a lineup of thought-provoking speakers, APDF offers a number of opportunities for members to network with their peers. Finally, APDF is partnering with Hands On New Orleans to support a volunteer event specifically targeted to our attendees.
