Staffing World 2014, the ASA annual convention and expo, continues today and tomorrow at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in metro Washington, DC. There are more than 1,600 attendees and exhibitors gathered to enjoy two more intense days of high-quality educational content, networking, and expo hall shopping.

At yesterday’s opening general session, ASA president and chief executive officer welcomed attendees and announced the launch of the newly redesigned ASA website (still available online at the same URL, americanstaffing.net).

During the second general session today, attendees honored the 2015 National Staffing Employee of the Year, Thomas Sutton. Then Geoff Smart spoke to an enthusiastic crowd. The second general session was sponsored by Monster.
