NEW YORK, Dec. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Conference Board, the global business research and membership organization, has launched The Conference Board Human Capital Exchange™, a web portal designed to be the "first stop" resource for all human capital professionals around the world seeking the best information and wisdom in the field.
