iCIMS' 2009 CAC will explore the theme "Beyond the ATS", focusing on the evolving international landscape of talent management. The meeting will feature presentations by Knowledge Infusion's CEO, Jason Averbook, Great-West Life Insurance's Sr. Director of Talent Management, Suzanne Sanchez and iCIMS' executive team. In addition, the conference will feature multiple focus groups and roundtable discussion sessions moderated by iCIMS' leading clients. Among the companies represented at the CAC this year are Continental Airlines, Whole Foods Market, Tyco Electronics, The Hershey Company, Enterprise Rent-a-Car and one of iCIMS' newest clients, C&S Wholesale Grocers.

The annual Customer Advisory Council provides clients with a forum to offer feedback, make suggestions for the product roadmap and directly influence future platform enhancements. This first hand feedback is highly regarded by iCIMS and directly influences the direction of the short and long term product improvements. iCIMS leverages CAC feedback, ideas, and suggestions to enhance the iCIMS Talent Platform (http://www.icims.com/content/solutions/) and develop new services and offerings that better address customer's evolving needs.

Since 2004, iCIMS' CAC has served as a valuable forum for clients around the world to discuss talent management trends and hot topics within the industry. Beyond knowledge sharing among these industry leaders, the CAC also helps clients stay attuned to the Talent Platform's newest features and system upgrades. This year the conference will delve into the platform's enhanced onboarding and international functionality, highlighting some of iCIMS' newest features that make managing the full talent lifecycle easier than ever. Everything from fundamental applicant tracking to onboarding (http://www.icims.com/content/solutions/preposthire/Onboarding.aspx), performance management, workforce planning, employee data management and more, iCIMS supports the candidate and employee management (http://www.icims.com/content/solutions/posthire/) processes of more than 750 worldwide organizations.
