Staffing Industry Executive Forum Recap

2011 marks anew for all industries alike. The Staffing Industry is not immune to change, nor should it pretend to be.

From Margaret attending the Staffing Industry Executive Forum in Miami, we've accumulated some valuable information for anyone and everyone involved with the Staffing Industry.

Silicon Valley Continues to Lead N. American Metros in Strength of Its High-Tech Industry

Silicon Valley Continues to Lead N. American Metros in Strength of Its High-Tech Industry, but Growth in Other Regions Shows Integration Across Continent, Says Milken Institute Study

LOS ANGELES – Silicon Valley, the largest and most influential high-tech center in the world, continues to lead all other metropolitan regions in North America in the breadth and scope of economic activity it creates through technological innovation. But many other metros have built strong and diverse industries that should allow them to prosper when the global economy recovers, according to a new report from the Milken Institute.

“High-tech industries are an important and sustaining anchor for regions to survive the slump and to rebuild their economies around high-wage jobs,” says Ross DeVol, Director of Regional Economics at the Institute and author of the newly released report, North America’s High-Tech Economy: The Geography of Knowledge-Based Industries.

“Every sector has been impacted by the current economic downturn, but high-tech centers will come out on top,” continues DeVol. “In 2003, many said that the era of technology-based economic development was over. However, the industry defied the naysayers and grew rapidly in the following years, proving that regions that promote and sustain the vital inputs to a high-tech sector are best prepared to recover and generate broader stability and growth.”

According to the study, which ranks the top high-tech centers in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, most of the top tech metros are well known – like Seattle, Cambridge, Washington, D.C., New York and San Francisco. But there are many lesser-known regions that have made tremendous inroads in the past decade to build their technology assets, such as Toronto, Canada; Kalamazoo, Mich.; and even Baja California.

The top-ten rankings for the preeminent high-tech metros in North America:

Contract Staffing & Executive Recruitment for Hi-Tech Talent

I am on my way back to one of my two 'homes' from the Tech Serve Alliance conference in Red Rock. My second visit to that resort in two weeks.

The Red Rock ROCKS.

It is a Fabulous venue, excellent food, great staff, spa that is to die for, reflexology extraordinaire and great up do!

Beyond the amenities Tech Serve Alliance put on great conferences.

Tech Serve Alliance was step above the other conferences is the courses it offered and the way the content was delivered. I would say they put on a strategic, innovative and progressive conference. The majority of the sessions were content heavy and highly valuable for Staffing firms wanting to stay ahead of the curve. Some of the programs I personally attended were focused on Building and Managing the Virtual Workforce, Immigration, Off Shore Staffing Solutions, Diversification, Pending Economic Trends, *Strategic Selling, Hiring the Right Sales and Recruiting Team and more. *And yes I attended the ones I led.

The mood and the conversations around the conference was very much positive-about creating value, growth in revenues and margins, innovative solutions to compelling problems. I invited a long-term friend of mine to join me at the conference and she was very impressed by the level of participants, programs and networking.

Her and I made many new and diverse friends, learned about doing business as one world, and the challenges that come with it as well as got well immersed in the world of high tech contract and direct hire placement.

The attendees were extremely open, generous and warm. I saw old friends and made many more new ones.

My love for people in the staffing and recruiting space was again deepened. I couldn't have chosen to be in a better place, to contribute, to share and to expand my network and influence.

Thank you Tech Serve Alliance for a great conference!
