Agenda
Executive Boardroom Sessions
Why Don’t Employees Feel Supported?
Most organizations have expanded benefits in both volume and scope, but many employees are frustrated with information overload and overall employee experience. How can CHROs build meaningful connections between the workforce and their benefits while navigating an ever-expanding technology ecosystem?
Attend this session to learn:
- Strategies for connecting employee insights to actions to power stronger engagement
- Ways to integrate employee experiences to increase adoption
- How organizations can leverage personalization and AI to help people feel seen and cared for
HR Tech Transformation To Drive Business Outcomes
As the world continues to automate, organizations are looking to optimize all functions of the business. CHROs have an opportunity to streamline and improve processes specific to the people function to better employee experience and enhance enterprise function.
In this boardroom, you will discuss:
- Successful implementation of HR-specific technologies
- Practical HR-specific usage of generative AI
- Best practices on working with IT peers
Keynote Session
You Speak, They Swarm — The Power of Story in Reaching Your Audience
"Those who tell the stories rule society." (Plato) Busy executives don’t have time to learn complex communication models or esoteric storytelling processes — you need a simple, effective framework that can help you not only connect with any audience, but also elicit real change. Enter the SWARM™ Effect.
Join this session with Arthur Zards — an expert on storytelling, TEDster and provocateur — to:
- Hone your skills in executive influence
- Adopt a more authentic and engaging approach to speaking
- Take your next presentation from “understandable” to “compelling”
Breakout Session

- Streamline workforce processes and a strong HR infrastructure
- Utilize inside-out and outside-in cultural transformation
