The conference was held at the Saint Charles Convention Center in Saint Charles, Missouri.
Missouri employers, educators, and workforce organizations made up the attendee base.
It was most useful for Missouri employers, educators and workforce development staff who wanted state-specific data and programs, since speakers were scheduled from Lightcast, ACT Work Ready Communities, rootEd Missouri and Dale Carnegie Missouri and the program looked toward 2030 for Missouri organizations. Out-of-state HR or workforce professionals would have got less from it; it was a two-day event in its eighth year.
Attendees at state chamber and workforce conferences usually wear business casual, with many men in slacks and a collared shirt or blazer and some in suits.
