2024 AGENDA
SESSION 1Keynote – In the Driver's Seat: Finding Confidence Amidst Conflict
Kwame Christian, CEO & Founder of the American Negotiation Institute
We’re pulling out of the driveway with a keynote from bestselling author, Kwame Christian. Host of Negotiate Anything, the world’s #1 podcast on the subject, Christian sees negotiation as an invaluable life philosophy that strengthens relationships, promotes empathy, fosters inclusion, drives results, and empowers positivity. His interactive talk will help you overcome fear and anxiety if you’re having difficult employee benefits conversations, and motivate you for the year ahead.
SESSION 2Need Roadside Assistance? Call Your Broker
Brandon Weber, CEO & Co-founder of Nava Benefits
HR pros, 2024 has already thrown you more than your fair share of flat tires—including tighter budgets, fewer resources, and ever-rising healthcare costs. So if you’re in need of a tow truck, look to your benefits broker. In this session, Brandon will share why brokers should be your first phone call if you’re in a bind, and how you can utilize your partnership to offset the amount of work you’re tackling this year.
SESSION 3It’s Time for a Medicare Course Correction (And It Starts With You)
John Repischak, Director of Total Rewards at Cable One
Eric Stanger, Director, Via Benefits, Individual Marketplace at WTW
Jennifer Martin, Senior Manager, HR Rewards at Best Buy
Moderator: Amanda Lannert, CEO, Jellyvision
Are you leaving your older employees behind? Despite the fact that we have more aging employees in the workforce than ever, we’re too often leaving Medicare-eligible folks with a one-size-fits-all solution that doesn’t speak to their own individual needs. In this panel discussion, we’ll learn why now is the time to course-correct our approach to Medicare education, and how to provide more support for eligible employees and their families.
SESSION 4Keynote – Driving Change: Infusing Work with Humanity
Jenn Lim, CEO & Founder of Delivering Happiness
Who’s ready for some car ride bonding time? In this session, top-rated keynote speaker Jenn Lim will show us how to get real with ourselves and our teams for a more whole, authentic workplace. Best-selling author of Beyond Happiness, Lim will inspire you to create a genuine, inclusive work environment that drives profit and purpose.
SESSION 5On The Road Again: Why Benefits Aren’t a Once-A-Year Trip
Emily Dobbins, Client Communications Manager at Woodruff Sawyer
Once you’ve wrapped up open enrollment, it might feel like you’ve reached your final destination. But don’t unbuckle your seatbelt just yet—because your employees are looking for guidance throughout the year, when they’re actually using their benefits. In this presentation, Emily will share how she’s embracing in-the-moment benefits communication, offering best practices that you can implement with your own team.
SESSION 6Navigating the Best Route to Employees: An Ultimate Open Enrollment Roadmap
Brett Wilson, Wellbeing & Rewards Leader at RSM
Lisa Habib, VP HR Digital Experience Strategy & Content Delivery at Truist
There’s a big mile marker on the horizon: open enrollment. And if you’ve driven this road before, it might be tempting to pass all of the familiar landmarks, implementing the same communication strategies you’ve always used. In these mini sessions, real-life HR pros will share why it’s time for a new map, offering tips and best practices that will help you chart a more effective route to reach employees this open enrollment.
