Keynote Topics

The rules of work have permanently changed—and most organizations are still playing by the old ones. Steve Cadigan, who built LinkedIn’s talent strategy during its hypergrowth phase, delivers a clear-eyed view of what the future of work actually looks like: the skills gap, the loyalty shift, the rise of talent marketplaces, and the leadership behaviors that attract and retain the people who will define your next decade.

Culture is straightforward to maintain when you’re small—and remarkably hard to preserve as you grow. Steve Cadigan draws on his experience leading talent through LinkedIn’s expansion from 400 to 4,000 employees in just 3.5 years to share the strategies, structures, and leadership behaviors that keep culture intact when everything else is changing fast. Essential for any leader navigating the challenges of hypergrowth or significant organizational transformation.

To say Janet Evans inspired me is an understatement. I had the great honor of being in the stadium in 1996 when the torch relay took place and have fond memories of the torch being handed by Janet to Muhammad Ali. Little did I know that amazing woman would come back later in life to inspire me with her version of the event. Thank you for your diligent efforts to bring Janet’s story to us.

Kathy Roche

I just wanted to express my appreciation for having the opportunity to have Alex Honnold speak to my senior leadership group this morning. Alex was amazing: funny, articulate, open, humble, and very engaging. My group loved him and his presentation. Please let Alex know how much we appreciated him and his accomplishments, most notably his charitable foundation.

Thank you for all you did with booking Magic Johnson and being on site with him. It was so refreshing meeting you in person and having the service you provided. That was an invaluable experience for me and my team and I cannot thank you enough. Magic was amazing – there could not have been a better fit for our conference. Honestly, Mr. Johnson and Mel Robbins complemented each other better than I could have ever dreamt. The two of them made our conference.
