Track Themes & Speaker Fit

Attract to Win - Because great engagement starts with great positioning. 

This track is all about employer branding that doesn’t try too hard, value propositions that resonate, and candidate experiences that convert. If you’ve led a magnetic rebrand, built a reputation that attracts the right people, or know how to stand out in a sea of sameness — this is your stage. Think bold messaging, authentic storytelling, and brand-led engagement that starts before day one.

Belong to Win - Diversity without inclusion is decoration.

This track is a deep dive into the structures and practices that move us beyond checkboxes and toward true belonging. We’re looking for voices who can speak to psychological safety, intersectionality, accessibility, and the nuance of identity at work. If you’ve built programs that create space, shifted language or systems to be more inclusive, or turned lived experience into lasting impact — this is where your story belongs.
 

Build to Win - Laying foundations that don’t crumble under pressure.

For those shaping the moments that define how culture is lived — not just spoken. From onboarding that sticks to scalable engagement frameworks, this track focuses on creating systems and experiences that grow with the business. If you’ve designed an EVP that actually holds up, architected culture intentionally, or turned chaotic onboarding into strategic acceleration, we want to hear how you did it.

Care to Win - Because companies that care, win — period.

This is where purpose meets practice. We’re looking for stories and strategies that center employee well-being, sustainability, social impact, and corporate responsibility — not as side projects, but as business imperatives. Whether you’ve championed mental health, led values-based initiatives, or built care into your culture in a way that’s measurable and meaningful, this is your zone.

 

Communicate to Win - Because if your messaging sucks, nothing else sticks.

Internal comms is often the unsung hero of engagement — and we’re ready to give it the spotlight it deserves. This track is for those who know how to craft messages that move people, not just inform them. If you’ve led change communications, crisis response, internal storytelling, or built campaigns that united and inspired your people, bring the receipts.

Develop to Win - Because dead-end jobs don’t build loyalty.

This track is for champions of growth: career pathing, internal mobility, learning ecosystems, and coaching cultures that drive real development. We want speakers who’ve created learning experiences that don’t just tick boxes, but actually unlock potential. If you’ve built a mentorship program, revamped L&D, or redefined what growth looks like in your company — step right up.

Flex to Win - Because rigid work models lose people fast.

Work has changed — and so must our structures. This track explores all things flexible: hybrid models, asynchronous collaboration, job sharing, and beyond. If you’ve led the charge on adaptive work strategies or created policies that support productivity without burnout, your story could help others finally let go of the old rules.

 

Innovate to Win - Engagement doesn’t live in a spreadsheet.

This is the home of AI-powered tools, immersive learning experiences, and unexpected ideas that push people strategy into the future. If you’ve implemented technology that enhances culture (not replaces it), or you’re reimagining how people interact with work through innovation, this is where you belong.

Lead to Win - Managers make or break your culture. Period.

We’re not interested in leadership lip service. This track is for those who’ve led with empathy, built trust, and shifted power dynamics for good. If you’ve redefined leadership in your org, coached others through that transformation, or created frameworks that hold people leaders accountable — this is your space to share.

Listen to Win - Engagement starts when you shut up and listen.

This one’s all about employee voice — and what happens after the survey. If you’ve built systems for meaningful feedback, facilitated listening sessions that led to action, or implemented co-creation models where employees drive the change, this is the stage to amplify that work.

Measure to Win - If you can’t prove it, don’t call it engagement.

Culture is not a vibe — it’s a strategy. This track is where people metrics, KPIs, and ROI live. If you’ve built dashboards that tie engagement to business outcomes, created tools that prove the impact of culture investments, or made the business case for prioritizing people — we want the numbers and the narrative.

Network to Win - Connection is the currency of belonging.

This track is for those who’ve created meaningful relationships within organizations — from ERGs to cross-functional collaborations to global team-building strategies. If you’ve built communities that feel like home (not hollow HR initiatives), we want to hear about it.

Play to Win - Because fun isn’t frivolous — it’s fuel.

Recognition, joy, and celebration aren’t fluff — they’re strategy. This track is for those injecting humanity into the day-to-day. If you’ve led a culture of play, used gamification to drive outcomes, or found creative ways to build morale and motivation, we want your secrets.

Recruit to Win - Because the candidate experience is the employee experience.

This track tackles hiring strategy through an engagement lens. If you’ve reinvented the candidate journey, eliminated bias, championed skills-based hiring, or brought your brand to life in the recruiting process, we want to showcase how great engagement begins before the offer is signed.

Retain to Win - Stop bleeding talent and start building trust.

Retention isn’t about golden handcuffs — it’s about clarity, connection, and credibility. This track is for those who’ve turned around attrition, re-engaged the disengaged, or built trust through honest conversations and transparent systems. If people stay because of what you’ve built — this is where you speak.

Reward to Win - Because appreciation without compensation is just manipulation.

This track is for those tackling pay equity, total rewards strategy, and meaningful recognition systems that go beyond shoutouts and sheet cake. If you’ve built a rewards structure that shows people they matter — in action, not just in words — we want your insight here.
