Tickets may also be purchased on site at the SPIE registration desk until 4 pm Wednesday 30 July. The Star Council is a town meeting of experts on cutting edge issues, filmed before a live, participatory audience. Details of participating panelists will be listed in subsequent announcements. Star Council attendees must be registered for the technical symposium. As a public service, SPIE sponsors an on-site career center which displays a resume file of qualified scientists, engineers, and technicians interested in employment.
Space is provided for posting descriptions of job opportunities and for informal discussion.
Membership in SPIE is not required. Candidates delivering resumes on site, and companies posting positions open, are encouraged to do so on Tuesday to maximize exposure. Today's workforce and workplace are in a reshaping mode. The average company is becoming smaller and employing fewer people. The traditional hierarchical organization will give way to a variety of organizational forms, the network of specialists foremost among these.
