2011 World Leadership & Innovation Conference to be Held in Costa Rica
Regarded as the “Happiest Place on Earth” in a recent study by the New Economics Foundation, and one of the “Healthiest Places on Earth” by International Living Magazine, Costa Rica has been selected as the host country for the 2011 World Leadership & Innovation Conference, to be held January 18-29 in the capitol city of San Jose, Costa Rica.
(PRWEB) October 25, 2010
Corporate executives, human resources professionals, entrepreneurs and business leaders from across the globe will converge in Costa Rica for a series of creative business seminars, educational symposiums, training and certification programs, closing with a week-long learning vacation retreat held at various popular vacation locations throughout Costa Rica.
Conference Director Rosemary Rein believes that Costa Rica is the ideal location for a conference dedicated to creative leadership and innovation. “When a small Central American country, roughly the size of West Virginia steps onto the world stage as a global leader in happiness, health, literacy and ecological conservation, the rest of the world should sit up and take notice,” says Rein. “We selected Costa Rica as the site of our 2011 World Leadership and Innovation Conference to show global business executives that leadership is not a consequence of big budgets and unlimited resources. Leadership is achieved through a commitment to innovative, creative thinking…that can be learned, mastered and shared. What better place to offer a creative leadership conference than in the country recognized for innovative leadership in so many critical areas? Costa Rica was the natural choice!” says Rein.
In January, the majority of North America and Europe will be experiencing the deep chill of winter. Participants in the 2011 World Leadership & Innovation Conference will be able to enjoy the tropical paradise of Costa Rica, while engaging in valuable creative leadership training offered by renowned authors and global business leaders.
