This isn’t directly specifically at Kelly, but at everyone who is in that type of situation.
I would be offended if my boss didn’t trust me enough to be professional and do my job. I don’t think I would want to work for someone that didn’t trust me enough to be able to go to Las Vegas for a conference and attend sessions and learn things. While your approach may work, it doesn’t address the core issue of peoples’ employers not believing that their people would do the right thing. That is a sign of a bad business relationship.

He had me pick my list of sessions I planned to attend. I had to bring back a complete trip report about what I learned plus a description of what each vendor in the expo did and how it related/or not to our company. Believe me he could tell if I'd have just copied some stuff from the slides and the show booklet (which I also had to provide to him) BTW, I'm sending some of your choice comments to Management... no promises but I feel your pain.
