WHAT will I tell my boss I learned?

How to stop playing nice and start playing real. Get a taste of what's in store for you from lessons learned in Phoenix:

"In the Internet gold rush, people confused brand building with company building. They're not the same. With the Web, you can't forget that the customer owns you. That genie's not going back in the bottle." -- Tom Bevilaqua, executive vice president of E*Trade

"Forget salaries and perks. Ask people why they're leaving a company, and they're likely to say one of two things: 'I work for a jerk,' or 'I'm not doing something meaningful.'" -- Thornton May, corporate futurist and chief awareness officer at Guardent

HOW will RealTime change me and my organization?

Unlock your idea chest. Get inspired. The energy is contagious. Read one RealTimer's story and see for yourself:

"Who knew I'd get this much stimulation, from both networking and the sessions? I flew home Tuesday night on a red-eye, where I furiously drafted emails to capture ideas that I'd gathered at the conference. At a managers' meeting the next morning, I was able to offer two solutions that related directly to issues discussed at the conference. Later, I went into an IT-steering-committee meeting and outlined Susan Cramm's approach to managing an IT project. Then I went into a meeting on our spring client conference and shared the knowledge hunt and off-site session ideas. Then I went home and collapsed." -- John Leopold, president of Tricom Funding
