NAPLES, FL USA
    NAPLES, Fla., Nov. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- BioSpace, the leading provider of
life science career fairs, announced today that Carolyn Kepcher, Executive
Vice President of The Trump Organization and star of the hit television
program "The Apprentice," will be the featured guest speaker for the BioSpace
2005 Career Expo at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel on Tuesday, June 21, 2005.

    Ms. Kepcher's speaking program is by invitation only and exclusively for
those Human Resources professionals exhibiting at the BioSpace event. Her talk
will follow a special cocktail reception at the conclusion of the Career Expo
on Tuesday, June 21. Ms. Kepcher will address topics and issues relevant to
the Human Resources field and also answer questions from the audience. "We
wanted to create additional value for our loyal exhibitors," said Chris Amato,
Career Innovations' Founder and President. "Having Carolyn Kepcher speak
enhances the overall experience. While she is entertaining on 'The
Apprentice,' her role in The Trump Organization makes her uniquely qualified
to address a myriad of career development issues." Additionally, all BioSpace
HR exhibitors will receive a signed copy of Ms. Kepcher's book, "Carolyn 101:
Business Lessons from The Apprentice's Straight Shooter."
    BioSpace has successfully produced and managed the BIO career fair for the
past four years and has decided this year to produce its own event and move it
to a more convenient time. "Holding the event during the actual conference
means more conferees will benefit," said Amato. "Our experience has shown that
exhibitors struggle with the demands of staffing a Sunday event. This format
will provide for the highest level of opportunity for our exhibitors and job
seekers alike." The event will be held on Tuesday, June 21 during the week of
the convention in order to make it easier for attendees of the conference to
participate.
    From its proprietary Life Science Talent Database of over 750,000 life
science professionals, BioSpace targets and invites those individuals matching
the criteria supplied by its HR exhibitors before the event. This unique and
efficient screening process guarantees the most relevant job seekers at the
Expo.
    BioSpace is the largest life science career fair company in the United
States and has produced over 100 Career Expos in the U.S. and Canada over the
past 7 years.

    About Carolyn Kepcher
    The Executive Vice President of the Trump Organization, Carolyn Kepcher's
popularity has recently soared with her role on the NBC hit reality series
"The Apprentice." Known as "Trump's sidekick," the 35-year-old Kepcher is the
Chief Operating Officer and General Manager for the Trump National Golf Club
in Briarcliff Manor, New York and The Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster,
New Jersey. She has been with the Trump Organization since 1994 and currently
oversees the day-to-day operations of over 250 employees at both Trump golf
properties.
    Described by Donald Trump as a "professional and a perfectionist," Kepcher
is talented, well-respected and competent, and "never does anything less than
a great job." A tireless worker and a firm believer that perseverance leads to
accomplishment, Kepcher speaks with authority on a variety of issues such as a
woman's role in corporate America, leadership, change, balance, overcoming
stereotypes and obstacles, and management.
    Kepcher recently released her book, "Carolyn 101: Business Lessons from
The Apprentice's Straight Shooter," revealing the secrets of her own success
and provides readers with guidance for their professional lives. By looking at
the types of people most often encountered in the workplace, she illustrates
her advice with examples from her career -- largely within The Trump
Organization. (From The Nationwide Speakers Bureau, Inc.)
