Whether its publishing business models being upended\, an unpredictable political landscape\, or the unknown impact of AI\, we are all dealing with change like never before\, but our cultures may be getting in the way. \nIn this practical session\, culture expert Jamie Notter will share research from his latest book that pinpoints the specific patterns inside most association cultures that need to be in place for you to manage change better\, including elements of collaboration\, innovation\, agility\, decision-making\, and difficult conversations.

Social media and global technologies are drawing individuals into niche\, private groups\, reshaping expectations for community and engagement. This keynote explores the generational shifts influencing how members perceive the value of their time\, actions\, and data—and the rewards they expect in return. Join us to uncover what these changes mean for the future of associations and gain insights on how to adapt your strategies to align with these emerging member expectations. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify what members value most within your association\nEvaluate whether you are meeting member needs\nDevelop strategies to keep members engaged year-round\n\nSpeaker: Dan Stevens from WorkerBee.TV and Marcus Leite from WorkerBee.TV \n\nSession 4: (2:30-3:30 PM) The Human Element of AI: Making Technology Adoption Stick \nCourse Description:  \nAI is more than technology; it’s a transformative shift in how we work\, think\, and grow together as an organization. But here’s the truth: the challenges and opportunities that come with adopting AI aren’t unique to AI. They’re the same human factors we encounter with any major technology shift.\nSuccessful technology adoption—whether it’s AI\, a new CRM\, or a digital platform—requires more than picking the right tool and rolling it out. It’s about what happens next. How do you ensure your team continues to focus on the tool\, finds meaningful ways to use it\, and integrates it into their daily workflows? What are the barriers that keep teams from fully leveraging these tools\, and how can leaders help break them down? \nIn this session\, we’ll talk about how to navigate these challenges\, inspire curiosity\, and ensure your team feels supported every step of the way. You’ll hear real-world stories about what works (and what doesn’t) when helping teams integrate AI – or any new technology – into their daily lives. Together\, we’ll explore how leaders can make AI not just a passing trend but a lasting and meaningful part of their organization’s DNA. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nLearn how to evaluate technology solutions\, communicate their value clearly to your team\, and roll them out in a way that builds trust and enthusiasm across your organization.\nDiscover how to avoid the “launch-it-and-forget-it” trap by creating a culture of continuous improvement\, where teams regularly revisit and refine how they use new tools like AI to meet evolving goals.\nIdentify common obstacles—such as resistance to change\, lack of training\, or unclear processes—and explore strategies for breaking down these barriers to help your team fully embrace new technologies.\n\nSpeaker: Joanna Pineda from Matrix \n  \n\n  \nOur sessions will be led by thought leaders and subject-matter experts who have made significant contributions to these domains. Prepare to be engaged\, informed\, and inspired as you interact with individuals who have mastered the art of Empowering Change. \n
