Following the keynote speeches attendees had the opportunity to choose from Knight’s breakout “Building Iconic Teams” or Ross’s breakout “Building Your ‘B.O.U.N.C.E.’: Using Resilience to Thrive through Change”.

With a packed morning, the afternoon lent to some creative learning opportunities as it kicked off with “Business Speed Dating” an interactive game-show style panel that addressed what employees are looking for in the workplace. After the panel Joni Nash and Danna Larson took the stage and delivered “Building a Better Community”. Following this presentation panelists took the stage to talk and answer questions about conflict resolution.
