Get a first-hand account from Special Agent Robert Herndon, FBI one of the key investigators featured in Warner Bros.’s movie, The Informant. Based on the national bestselling book of the same name, The Informant is the real-life tale of international price fixing and corporate corruption rampant at one of the nation’s largest, most powerful companies. Written by award-winning New York Times investigative reporter Kurt Eichenwald, The Informant is filled with so many lies, it is nearly impossible to differentiate fact from fiction. Special Agent Herndon will be one of the conference speakers and will use the ADM case and the movie as a vehicle to explore the importance of character, leadership, and ethics in our daily lives. The conference will also feature a private screening of the film.
