2013 Global Summit on Negotiation and Trust

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Announcing the Global Summit on Negotiation and Trust - a three day conference being held for the first time at the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Phoenix, AZ. Conference dates are November 8-10, 2013.

This program is designed to help participants become better at forming and sustaining collaborative relationships; increase cross-cultural competence and trust in international negotiation settings; make trust a competitive edge through practical tools and techniques from proven experts; and deploy trust to resolve conflict more effectively and improve negotiation results.

Additionally, participants will expand their personal and professional network while harnessing the collective wisdom of experienced practitioners, top scholars and executive peers.
