| Future of Work: Meeting New Expectations for Employee- and Customer Experience AlikeLocation: Palos Verdes 8
The modern workforce is anchored by the hybrid work model and does not want to accept the pre-pandemic workplace anymore — they want greater flexibility and autonomy in where they choose to work and how they use their time. To gain a competitive advantage, brands need to gain a deeper understanding of how every individual is adapting to work in this new era. Customers, too, are demanding service levels and experiences that were not the norm before the pandemic. To meet some of these new business requirements, employees need modern tools and the empowerment to do their jobs as required. In this session, we will explore how organizations strive toward this future of work and examine how an enhanced employee experience can lead to the same for customers.

| Keynote: Learning to Love Turbulence – Creating a Flight Plan to Clear any Goal for Take-OffSpeaker: Amelia Rose Earhart
Location: Palos Verdes Ballroom
When we set our minds toward any big goal, we imagine creating our plan and executing it to completion. We tell ourselves that if we work hard enough, we will soar from Point A to Point B gracefully, leaving others to wonder how we ever pulled it off. When we begin our journey, the wind is at our backs and the view is spectacular. Suddenly, there’s a terrifying jolt. We’ve been thrown off course by something we never saw coming: turbulence. Suddenly, our well thought out plan is thrown out the window. We are now in crisis mode. Which way is up? Who is on our team? Is there ANY safe place to land? From the art of navigating the holding pattern, to developing vision beyond sight, to what it takes to build a high functioning flight crew, Amelia’s aviation analogies ring true and will resonate with IT leaders piloting their companies through turbulence to a smooth landing.
