It’s time to move beyond just innovation and collaboration – it’s time for transformation. Often\, we get so caught up in our typical day-to-day activities that we forget the power of real change. Without transformation\, all those brilliant ideas and team efforts might as well be wishes in a well.\n\nIn this session\, we’re diving deep into why and how transformation should be at the heart of your member engagement strategies.

Join us for an enlightening presentation about how requirements play a critical role in every tech-dependent project. We will demonstrate and discuss various types of requirements\, including business\, system\, user\, functional\, and nonfunctional requirements. We will also delve into how an organization’s characteristics and culture affect the outcome of a requirements analysis endeavor. It is imperative that everyone in the organization understand their role and accountability in a requirements analysis initiative. Whether you’re a CEO\, VP\, project manager\, developer\, user\, or other\, you have a role in the requirements project. This is true in every project; requirements must be defined regardless of whether you use classic waterfall or agile development methodologies. \nLearning objectives: \n\nDifferentiate the different types of requirements and each one’s role in a technology project.\nIdentify leadership\, business analyst\, IT\, user\, and other roles and responsibilities required to ensure success.\nEducate participants so they can take the steps necessary to keep their organization’s technology initiatives on track.\n\nSpeaker: Dave Coriale from DelCor \n\nLunch (12:15-1:15 PM) \n\nSession 3: (1:15-2:15 PM) A Practical Approach to Cybersecurity in the Age of Hybrid Work and AI-Powered Fraud \nCourse Description:  \nIt is not possible for busy association leaders to stay up-to-date with all things cybersecurity\, especially as the rate of technological change continues to increase exponentially. That’s why we’ve designed this course to get you up to speed on the threats and strategies that matter most to organizations like yours in March 2024—a time when employees and members are more dispersed than ever\, and when artificial intelligence is raising at least as many questions as it answers. \nWe’ll work through practical frameworks\, real-life examples\, and clear action items to turn a complex and intimidating subject into one you’re ready to tackle head-on. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nAn executive-level framework to guide your cybersecurity strategy (and what NOT to worry about)\nA realistic look at the current threat landscape given industry trends such as hybrid work\nThe dual role of artificial intelligence in amplifying and decimating successful attacks\nHow and where to delegate protective measures that minimize risk to employees and members\n\nSpeaker: Heinan Landa from Optimal Networks \n  \n\nSession 4: (2:30-3:30 PM) Designing Memorable Experiences: Leveraging Design Thinking and AI in Event Management \nCourse Description:  \nCreate events that leave a lasting impression by mastering the art of design thinking and AI integration.

In the world of event management\, the power of a compelling experience cannot be overstated. This comprehensive course will equip you with the design thinking principles that empower human-centric innovation and AI’s advanced capabilities to refine event strategies and enhance engagement. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nFundamental aspects of design thinking\, including empathy\, ideation\, and experimentation\, and how these principles can be applied to create more engaging and meaningful event experiences.\nInsights into how the availability of unlimited design resources\, coupled with a design thinking approach\, can lead to more creative and attendee-centric event environments.\nThe strategic use of AI in social advertising to not only promote events but also to gather valuable data for tailoring event experiences to individual preferences.\n\nSpeaker: Bill McGlade from epIQ \n  \n\n  \nOur sessions will be led by thought leaders and subject-matter experts who have made significant contributions to these domains.

SUMMARY:Elevating Your Leadership: A Call to Learn from Your Team's Wisdom (Part 1 of 2)
DESCRIPTION:COURSE DESCRIPTION: \nWant to elevate your leadership skills in 2024? Before you start\, forget the conventional wisdom of learning only from those who lead—sometimes\, the most valuable insights come from those who are led.  \nJoin us for a dynamic two-part webinar series where we will explore original research of leaders who shifted the culture of their organization\, by elevating the leadership wisdom found in the often-unheard voices of those they were leading.  \nPart 1: Unveiling the Unsung Wisdom \nIn our first session\, we’ll explore why those being led are an often-overlooked source of invaluable leadership wisdom. Discover practical\, low-maintenance methods for leaders to glean meaningful insights without resorting to burdensome practices (large 360 reviews\, burdensome surveys\, etc.). We’ll uncover the untapped potential of learning from your team and preview key lessons for a more impactful leadership journey. \nPart 2: Lessons in a Case Study of Learning \nDive into leadership practices through original research focused on one organization that harnessed the wisdom of those they lead to elevate their culture and practice. This session serves as both a guide and a case study\, offering tangible takeaways and illustrating the profound wisdom leaders can extract from those they lead every day. \nBy the end of this series\, you’ll not only possess the tools to integrate lessons from your team but also gain an understanding of the transformative impact such an approach can have in your specific leadership context. Don’t just lead—lead with wisdom from all corners. \n  \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\n– Uncover why those who are led offer invaluable leadership wisdom and understand why their insights are often overlooked.\n– Examine essential questions and processes to gather leadership insights from your team. \n– Develop a discerning approach to sift through the noise and identify genuine\, practical wisdom from the diverse voices within your team.\n– Explore the impact of contextual parameters of leadership on learning from your team. \n\nTo Watch this Webinar on the Media Library CLICK HERE!
