Accounting for Growth: Announcing the Second Annual SUMtech (Un)accounting Conference













New York, New York (PRWEB) April 22, 2015

SUM Innovation, a leading accounting management and consulting firm, announced today that its second annual SUMtech (Un)accounting Conference is scheduled for 6 p.m. EDT Thursday, May 7, 2015, at LDI Color Toolbox in New York City. SUM Innovation is also hosting a series of free webinars in the days leading up to the conference.

The (Un)accounting Conference aims to bring to New York an inspiring, quality experience for businesses and entrepreneurs. SUMtech understands the value of sharing innovative accounting designs not only with accountants, but also with clients, entrepreneurs, business leaders, and technophiles.

“Previous accounting conferences in New York didn’t present an opportunity for the next generation of accounting professionals to thrive,” said Mathew Heggem, creator of the SUMtech conference and CEO of SUM Innovation. “Good conferences should exist for one reason — to provide accountants and entrepreneurs inspiration and information to fuel growth.”

The conference includes networking opportunities with free food and drinks. In addition, Heggem will moderate a panel discussion about small business growth and strategy. Panelists include Joshua Johnson of Influence & Co.; Samantha Stephens, chef and founder of OatMeals; Danny Mizrahi, CEO of Contango IT; and small business expert Freda Thomas. Tickets are available online at Eventbrite and must be purchased in advance.

Jonathan Kramer, CEO of Progressive Payment Solutions, praises the conference. “You are guaranteed a great time with high-caliber people,” he said.

In the days leading up to the conference, SUMtech is hosting a series of free webinars. These are scheduled for 12 p.m. EDT Monday through Wednesday, May 4-6.

About Veterans on Wall Street:

In December 2010, in an unprecedented move, several of the world’s largest financial institutions launched Veterans on Wall Street (“VOWS”), a confederation of firms who are committed to help support, educate and recruit military veterans and their families as they transition in to the civilian workplace. By organizing ourselves, sharing best practices and, importantly, engaging our corporate and investing clients, VOWS strives to make a material difference in the experience of our veterans as they transition out of the military. In addition to our efforts to support charitable organizations focused on our transitioning military and their families, VOWS is committed to lowering the exceptionally high unemployment rate among our military veteran community. Through a combination of educational initiatives, mentoring, outreach to the military, employee affinity groups, and an annual conference, VOWS promotes career development, support, and retention of veterans throughout the global financial services industry. Central to the VOWS mission is the recognition that many of the skills veterans developed in the military–leadership, fast and accurate decision–making, operational focus, and the drive to accomplish a mission–have a direct application in the financial services industry. VOWS also recognizes that the cultural values our veterans have developed in the military—passion, drive, commitment, and teamwork—mesh with the corporate values sought after and practiced in financial services. VOWS works with military organizations, veterans groups, industry associations and vendors to build awareness and understanding of how these skills and cultural attributes make military veterans outstanding employees.

About the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation:

The Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation is committed to achieving lasting and meaningful change in our community through four main areas of focus: education, children’s health, veterans, and the arts. The Foundation places an emphasis on improving the lives of children through education reform and healthcare initiatives, providing help to our returning heroes with mental health and employment programs for veterans, and supporting the arts that inspire us all.

14th Annual Demand Success Conference Brought Together Top Marketing and Public Relations Professionals to Discuss the Evolving Industry












Beltsville, Maryland (PRWEB) June 06, 2014

Vocus, Inc., a leading provider of cloud-based public relations and marketing software, played host to marketing and public relations professionals at Demand Success 2014, a two-day conference held at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in the Washington, D.C. metro area from June 5 – 6. The conference offered over 50 sessions on PR, marketing and social media and provided various networking opportunities and hands-on training prior to the main event to more than 850 industry professionals.

“Every year we try to provide the marketing and public relations community with the best industry-leading speaker lineup and programing in order to drive success in an ever evolving landscape,” said Vocus Chief Marketing Officer You Mon Tsang. “It’s important for us to lead the conversation on the latest trends and offer actionable tips for our community to continue progressing and innovating.”

The conference featured some of the industry’s top thought leaders, including Randi Zuckerberg, former Facebook marketing lead and author of “Dot Complicated;” Avinash Kaushik, Google’s digital marketing evangelist; Adrian Grenier, star of “Entourage” and co-founder of SHFT; and Judy Smith, renowned crisis communicator and inspiration for the TV series “Scandal,” among many others.

In her keynote, Zuckerberg discussed how the digital world has made life more complicated, especially for marketing and PR professionals who manage brands in real-time communications. She shared her unique perspective on untangling industry professionals’ “wired lives” while addressing the multifaceted complications in the socially transparent world we live in.

Other highlights came from Kaushik, who discussed how precision measurement and testing can help marketers deliver leads and build a superior online presence, and Smith, who offered expert advice on PR and crisis communications. Kaushik presented attendees with ways to leverage digital platforms and data to outsmart competitors and achieve measurable, financial results with social media, content and other digital marketing. Smith shared best practices based on her experiences, which include the prosecution of former Washington, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry, the President Clinton scandal involving Monica Lewinsky, and the Enron congressional inquiry.

“Each year, Vocus’ Demand Success conference sets the bar higher,” said AAA National Office Managing Director, Public Relations Yolanda Cade. “Engaging sessions with industry thought leaders and cutting-edge insights make this a can’t-miss event for my team each year.”

“From the content to the networking, Demand Success 2014 was comprehensive and worthwhile,” said Shorty Awards Senior Supervising Producer Natan Edelsburg. “Adrian Grenier’s keynote, the Ignite Talks with Cox Communications’ Martin Jones, Pasticity’s Jennifer Moss and more helped me to understand exactly what I need to do to achieve the marketing goals our company has set in place.”

Demand Success focuses on helping marketing and public relations professionals gain the intelligence they need to continue their success in a competitive and evolving industry. This year’s sessions showed professionals how to turn branded materials into highly visual and sharable content, deploy innovative online strategies, build brands, and measure efforts to produce more leads and ROI.

World Leaders in Alzheimer’s Innovation to Discuss Progress, Collaboration at DIA Annual Meeting











Horsham, Pa. (PRWEB) June 17, 2013

Without treatment, experts say, the number of Alzheimer’s disease patients worldwide is expected to almost double by 2025 to 34 million people—a startling realization that’s driving global forces to join together to advance research for the debilitating disease before it’s too late.

A number of innovative initiatives hold hope for a promising future in understanding Alzheimer’s, including new ways to implement genome sequencing in research, focus on much-needed support for caregivers and look for novel methods to improve clinical trials. These breakthrough efforts will be discussed on June 26 by U.S. leaders in Alzheimer’s research and regulation in three Advancing Alzheimer’s Innovation sessions at the DIA 2013 49th Annual Meeting at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.

Scientists are now focusing on the interaction of gender, genetic risk factors and biological markers of the disease. Harvard Medical School professors Dr. Rudy Tanzi, director of the Genetics and Aging Research Unit of the MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease and recently profiled by The Boston Globe and cited as a “rock star of science” by GQ, and Dr. Reisa Sperling, director of the Center for Alzheimer Research and Treatment at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, will join a panel of experts discussing collaboration to support research at Advancing Alzheimer’s Innovation: A Call to Action.

Tanzi, leader of the Whole Genome Sequencing Project, aims to propel research to identify the genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease—a vital step in discovering a therapy.

“We are taking advantage of cutting-edge technology to discover exactly how our genes determine susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease,” Tanzi said. “This panel will discuss how this key knowledge will pioneer novel drug discovery efforts and pave the future of Alzheimer’s research.”

Sperling is the principal investigator for the first-ever clinical trial aimed at older people who are at genetic risk of developing Alzheimer’s, but who have yet to show symptoms. Sperling will discuss the new era of prevention trials and the importance of studying the role gender may play in developing the disease. The three-year-long clinical trial, launching in November, will be made up of 1,000 older individuals and is funded jointly by the National Institutes of Health and Eli Lilly.

“It is critical to understand the interaction of risk factors and biological markers of disease pathology as we move forward with the trial,” Sperling said.

Adding to the discussion about innovative approaches to treating Alzheimer’s, Dr. Nicholas Kozauer, clinical lead for the Food and Drug Administration’s Division of Neurology Products, will address the need for a regulatory framework for pre-dementia clinical trials. In March, Kozauer published a compelling piece in the New England Journal of Medicine on the need for innovative approaches in trial design and selection as the drug-development community turns its sights on the early stages of the disease.

The session is chaired by Meryl Comer, president of the Geoffrey Beene Foundation Alzheimer’s Initiative, which just launched a $ 100,000 Global NeuroDiscovery Challenge to look at gender-based differences in Alzheimer’s. George Vradenburg, chairman of USAgainstAlzheimer’s, will discuss plans to use the G-8 to develop an international approach to address Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Below are the two other June 26 sessions focused on Alzheimer’s treatment and care:

Advancing Alzheimer’s Innovation: Patient Advocacy, Caregiver Support and Health Care System Impact at 1:45 p.m.

New initiatives are responding to the growing stress on caregivers and the need to help individuals remain independent for as long as possible. Robert Feeney, senior director of evidence-based reimbursement for Sanofi, will lead a panel of experts discussing the initiatives that prepare society for the proper care of Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers. The forum will address best practices in delivery of care, whether in institutions or at home.

Advancing Alzheimer’s Innovation: Clinical Development Successes and Challenges at 4 p.m.

Only about 8 percent of drugs that treat diseases—including Alzheimer’s—affecting the central nervous system enter clinical trials and the U.S. market. Innovative approaches to clinical design are needed to advance the success rate of drugs that treat Alzheimer’s. Sperling, discussing the current landscape of Alzheimer’s clinical trials and lessons learned from past trials, will join executives from Eisai Inc., and Merck & Co., to address the challenges encountered in clinical development and recommendations in design to improve the success of clinical trials.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) March 06, 2013

For the ninth year, Spelman College will host its annual Leadership and Women of Color Conference featuring actress/entrepreneur Nicole Ari Parker and famed crisis communications expert/author Judy Smith — the real-life inspiration for ABC’s hit series “Scandal” — as two of its honorees and keynote speakers. The two-day event will be held at the Georgia International Convention Center, May 15 -16, 2013.

Convened by Jane E. Smith, Ed.D., executive director of the Center for Leadership and Civic Engagement at Spelman, the conference will feature notable thought leaders and industry influencers engaging attendees from business, public policy, and education in detailed discussions centered on the theme, “Strategic Leadership: Building Wealth, Entrepreneurship and Paying It Forward.” This must-attend event for women and men in both the corporate and non-profit sectors will provide information and tools to help 21st century women of color strategically focus on building wealth, creating businesses and using both to make important, sustainable contributions to their communities.

“During the conference, attendees will learn from and pay tribute to corporate and community power brokers,” said Dr. Smith. “We are bringing forth those individuals whose commitment and leadership are making a difference in work places, communities and the health and wealth of women of color.”

Through keynote speeches, panel discussions and “conversations” with Spelman President Beverly Daniel Tatum, Ph.D., attendees will gain unique insight and leave with practical solutions to help them:


    Incorporate the cornerstones of wealth building
    Blaze a trail for others through philanthropic endeavors
    Understand the impact of health on wealth
    Leverage the power of the media to grow wealth

Held on the first night of the conference, the Legacy of Leadership Awards Dinner is an elegant evening of memorable entertainment, outstanding speakers and inspiring stories of leadership. This year, remarkable women who exemplify strategic leadership and embrace the importance of not only building successful careers, but also understanding the power of giving back, are being honored. Among the honorees are Ari Parker and Smith, as well as other local and national leaders in various fields.

The Ninth Annual Spelman College Leadership and Women of Color Conference will begin at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15, 2013, at the Georgia International Convention Center.

Congratulations to Our Dental Hygienists for Attending the Annual Under One Roof Seminar












Lincoln Park, IL (PRWEB) February 19, 2013

Continuing education is extremely important in order to advance in one’s career. Additional college courses and conventions all serve to sharpen an employee’s skill set as well as expose one to new advances in technology and procedure. Westend Dental in Chicago, Illinois strives everyday to bring quality dental care to their community and the one way they do this better than the competition is to keep their staff at their smartest and up to date. One of the educational opportunities that Westend Dental participates in is called the “Under One Roof” seminar.

The RDH Under One Roof seminar is an annual three-day long convention where all dental hygienists in the United States are encouraged to attend. At the convention a participant can attend workshops, lectures, and exhibits where they will learn new dental techniques and processes that have been developed by world-renowned doctors and dentists. This year, Westend Dental sent two hygienists to attend the convention. Amy Konishi and Megan Post, both very good dental hygienists at Westend Dental, learned about many different dental issues that patients should be aware of. Amy learned about “pre-carious lesions.” A pre-carious lesion is a cavity that has begun to form in the enamel of the teeth but is not to the point that would require drilling and filling just yet. Amy also learned that treating the pre-carious lesion with regular baking soda rinsing will help to delay further tooth decay. Also, Amy noted that carbamide peroxide, an ingredient in professional tooth whitening products, will also help to slow the formation of cavities.

In addition to all of the information that Amy brought back to work, Megan also took in information like a sponge and has expanded her knowledge of dental hygiene. While at a workshop that focused on diet and how it affects dental health, Megan learned that eating high protein foods such as seafood, soy, and nuts will actually contribute to strengthening tooth enamel thus decreasing the formation of cavities and tooth decay. Not only that, but diets rich in these proteins will help to promote healthy gums and better overall oral health.

Westend Dental in Chicago, Illinois is now better equipped to provide their clients with improved dental hygiene care thanks to the efforts of Amy and Megan. Because they have chosen to advance their training and education, more residents of Lincoln Park and Chicago will enjoy a positive and comfortable dental experience at Westend Dental.
