Sean Rehder got his start in recruiting as a 3rd party recruiter that recruited engineers for contract positions in the midwest. He soon left for Silicon Valley where he took a job as a centralized sourcer for again, a third party technology recruiting firm. Sean soon found himself managing contingent workforce programs for employers that engaged 1099 independent contractors before he found himself working with corporate recruiting teams building CRM applications to find, engage, and pipeline the most wanted talent in their particular industry.

What will the nation’s newspaper of record look like in the coming years? Learn about the continuing efforts of old media to reinvent its look, its feel and its mission.
It is now conventional wisdom that the newspaper as we have come to know it for last century is over, or will be in a matter of years. The question is whether we’re going to spend our time grieving over the loss, or whether we’re going to use this moment as an opportunity to invent something even better. We’re inevitably moving from the "paper of record" model to a something more distributed, a news ecosystem, but that doesn’t mean we can’t consciously define the shape of that system. So let’s figure out what values we want to preserve from the older newspaper paradigm, and what values we want to improve upon — and then let’s go build it!

They’ll consider the ascendance of Digg-friendly "problogs" and debate the subtler pleasures of careful writing that reaches smaller, but potentially less "profitable" audiences.
