INDIANAPOLIS, March 4, 2016 -- DirectEmployers announced today that Social Talent's CEO and Chief Sourcing Ninja, Johnny Campbell will deliver a keynote address at the 2016 Annual Meeting & Conference (DEAM16) on May 20, 2016 at the Crowne Plaza at Historic Union Station. Also appearing to deliver keynote speeches will be Max Siegel, corporate CEO, president, entrepreneur, entertainment executive, multicultural activist and attorney; and Randall Rutta, Easter Seals' President and CEO.

"There is no better way to celebrate the 15th anniversary of DirectEmployers Association than introducing our members to these renowned speakers who have challenged status quo and explored new futures for themselves, their businesses and their communities," commented Nancy Holland, DirectEmployers VP of Marketing. "Each presenter has a unique story to tell and we hope our audience is inspired to take action and make a change."

Campbell, Siegel and Rutta will share their experience and expertise on a range of OFCCP compliance and recruitment topics that inspire fresh ideas, imaginative solutions and best practices that can be easily implemented into the attendees' compliance and recruitment strategies. This year's conference will also celebrate the Association's 15-year history and look at where the organization started and how far it has come, while further encouraging its members to bridge the gap that currently exists between OFCCP compliance and recruitment professionals.

Registration is now open for DEAM16, which will be held from May 18 – 20, 2016 and feature two pre-conference tracks.
