Dow Jones and Ethisphere put on a great conference addressing ethics and compliance professionals. The Global Ethics Summit 2010 had a stellar line up of panels and presenters.
As with most conference’s it lacked power and wifi access. Fortunately, my company’s sturdy laptop battery and AT&T wireless access card allowed me to live blog from the sessions. Below are the blog posts that contain my notes from each session.
For pictures, DowJones has published some photos on Flickr: Global Ethics Summit 2010 Photos. There is also a stream of updates on Twitter from the conference: #GlobalEthics.
Since the posts were live from the sessions they are probably riddled with typos and grammatical errors. At least it’s better than my handwriting.
