Building a Culture that Attracts Talent – Bob ChapmanIn the midst of the Great Resignation, employers are struggling more than ever to attract and retain the right employees. Expectations and demands from job-seekers have shifted, and businesses that have failed to adjust are closing. Bob Chapman, CEO of Barry-Wehmiller and author of "Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family" will draw from his decades of experience to advise businesses on how to build a culture that attracts and retains the right talent. Mr. Chapman has been named "CEO of the Year" by the Society for Human Resource Management and the #3 CEO in the world in an Inc. article, among other accolades that speak to his success at building culture. Debate: Should Businesses Embrace Remote Work? Should businesses allow their employees to work remotely? Almost all employers and employees have wrestled with this question. More and more job-seekers are expecting remote-work flexibility, and COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns greatly accelerated this trend. But are employees really as productive working from home? Does remote work hurt company culture? Or could hybrid or remote options make businesses more successful? David Bahnsen, Founder of the Bahnsen Group, will argue that remote work should be minimized. Dr. Raj Choudhury, remote work expert at Harvard Business School, will argue that businesses should embrace hybrid and remote options. Don’t miss this exciting debate! My Journey of Faith and Entrepreneurship – Grace Paik Should faith and business be separate, or may these important areas of life inspire each other? Grace Paik took inspiration from her faith in founding her company Jaq Jaq Bird. Hear her inspiring story of how she is pursuing her calling to benefit the world through entrepreneurship, and learn from her advice for other faithful businesspeople in 2023. Cryptocurrency, Decentralized Finance, and Web 3.0.: Substance or Hype? Few technologies are as simultaneously disruptive and controversial as cryptocurrency. Attitudes among businesspeople range from viewing it as way to revolutionize the entire monetary system to seeing cryptocurrency as an inherently valueless asset destined for embarrassing collapse. The recent downfall of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried have fueled this debate further. Dr. Guido Hulsmann will provide his perspective on this topic as one of the world's top Austrian economists and experts on the history of money. Michelle Abbs will provide her perspective as one of the world's top women in NFTs.
