Collaborate '99 is a global virtual event, designed to facilitate interaction among practitioners of organization development and organizational learning from around the world. Participants will experience traditional conference venues in a non-traditional way - participating in keynote presentations and concurrent sessions; meeting favorite authors; leading individualized topics in a virtual open space forum; sharing a virtual cup of tea in the Collaborate Cafe; and accessing a wide range of resources, including links to White Papers, Interviews, Summaries of Sessions, Newsletters, an Online Bookstore and a Participant Directory for networking in the virtual hallways of the event. Collaborate '99 is the second annual production between Caucus Systems, Inc. and Organization Development Network.
