HILLARD, PhD, JD, CMP In our litigious society, anyone can get sued for doing anything—even good things! In this unique and informative session, participants will consider scenarios that highlight the liability issues associated with integrating sustainability measures and social responsibility into the meetings industry. You can and should do good things…but you should also protect yourself and your organization. Presented by MICHAEL LYONS, Professional Speaker, Actor and Hospitality Industry Consultant Every one of us is a unique human being and, like it or not, you represent a brand - the brand of YOU.
