Synygy, Inc., the Incentive Compensation Company(TM), today announced that the Fourth Annual Synygy Incentive Compensation Conference will be held on September 28 and 29, 2000, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Philadelphia.

Designed for CFOs, CIOs, and executives in sales, human resources, sales operations, and other departments at companies with over 100 plan participants, the conference agenda will include interactive workshops, case studies, and best practice sessions. The agenda will also include panel discussions.

These features will help attendees to evaluate, improve, redesign, and manage the use of incentive compensation in their companies.

"Synygy's Incentive Compensation Conferences have been highly successful in the past. We expect attendance to nearly double this year and have limited the number of attendees to 300. We encourage people to register early," said Mark A. Stiffler, president and CEO of Synygy.

"Incentive compensation is a critical issue, significantly affecting the way that people are being motivated, rewarded, and recognized," continued Stiffler.

Attendees of the Fourth Annual Synygy Incentive Compensation Conference will learn the latest trends and strategies for maximizing the effectiveness of their incentive compensation plans and increasing both their top line and bottom line.
