E2W Live is your backstage pass to the future of work.
 

We're kicking things off with a two-day, high-impact virtual summit designed to Educate, Engage, and Inspire.
This isn’t just another HR webinar marathon — it’s a high-energy experience where culture takes the main stage, and the real changemakers finally get the spotlight they deserve.
 

E2W Live: Because the Most Impactful Work Happens Off-Camera — and Deserves to Be Celebrated

Every year, the same bloated businesses trot out the same shiny trophies — Best Employer, Top Place to Work, Most Loved Brand — all bought and paid for with PR dollars, not earned through genuine employee experience.

Meanwhile, smaller, scrappier, heart-filled companies are out here doing the real work:

• Listening to their people

• Adapting in real time

• Building loyalty without a flashy logo or six-figure budget

That’s who E2W Live is for.

The Culture Conference That Celebrates Substance Over Spin

E2W Live (short for Engage to Win) is a bold new virtual event series that redefines what meaningful recognition looks like. It’s built for the underestimated, the overlooked, and the quietly brilliant — the ones doing the work to build cultures that actually work. This isn’t about trophy-chasing or paid placements. It’s about shining a light on impact over optics, and honoring the people and companies who are walking the walk — without needing a press release to prove it. No buzzword bingo. No beige decks full of bold claims and zero follow-through. No grandstanding without receipts, and absolutely no generic solutions copied & pasted more times than a viral Linkedin post. Just bold conversations, brave ideas, and yes — a little sparkle.
 

What You Need to Know

• Launching this October as a fully virtual, two-day global summit

• 16 themed tracks based on the pillars of employee engagement from the bestselling book Engage to Win

• Topics include leadership, belonging, performance, well-being, recognition, DEI, and more

• Speakers with real insight — not just another sales funnel

• Sponsors get a keynote slot, a panel seat, and a chance to prove they walk the walk

• Awards segment with zero pay-to-play — recognition based on impact, innovation, and inclusion

The Goal

To shine a spotlight on the people & companies doing the actual work — not just the ones with the best PR team and biggest ad spend.

To challenge the status quo — and then redefine it.

To spotlight culture as a competitive advantage, not just a line in a press release.

​​​

This isn’t a one-and-done event. It’s the start of a movement — an ecosystem that spans The Culture Chronicles podcast, book series, and a growing community of people-first revolutionaries who are over the fluff and ready to build better.

Get Involved

We’re currently seeking:

• Sponsors who align with progressive, purpose-driven values

• Speakers with bold stories, lived experience, and real strategies

• Award nominations from and for companies who are doing the work — not just talking about it

If you’re tired of seeing mediocrity rewarded and brilliance overlooked — you’re our kind of people.

Welcome to E2W Live: Where the future of work gets the recognition and applause that it deserves.
