AGENDA
The past year has been shaped by the unrelenting boom of gen AI, economic factors and inflation, the presidential election, global events and much more. Now, we’ve tapped experts who have gazed into their crystal balls to determine just how these trends will continue—and evolve—to help you plan for the year to come. We’ll explore:
- Embracing AI: Learn how to integrate AI-powered platforms into your daily workflows as these new technologies continue to revolutionize organizational communication. We’ll explore what’s next with automated content creation, personalized messaging, streamlined workflows, and data-driven targeting.

We’ll examine the trends you need to prepare for, including insights on union negotiations and evolving labor relations.
- Empowering Employee Voices: Every employee is a potential communicator and can help generate content not just internally—but externally. Learn how you can tap your employees to help foster authenticity, diversity, and enhanced engagement across organizations of all sizes.
Communicators frequently face the challenge of delivering high-impact results on tight budgets. In this session, you’ll learn creative ways to tackle this dilemma by becoming more efficient and effective, optimizing your existing resources, demonstrating ROI to advocate for larger budgets in the future, and strategically allocating your efforts to achieve maximum impact.

- Win Leadership Support: Learn approaches to secure leadership buy-in and advocate effectively for internal communications resources.
DEI is transforming and will certainly look different in 2025 from its current form. That doesn’t mean its core principles are not important—after all, there’s a business case to be made, as companies with the highest employment diversity are 39% more likely to overperform than more homogenous organizations. Learn from these experts how the vision for this discipline is expected to broaden beyond just representation and equal opportunities—and how it’s a catalyst for innovation and business success. You’ll learn:
- Integration Across Organizations: Discover strategies for embedding DEI principles into every aspect of your organization, moving beyond siloed approaches to create a truly inclusive culture that intertwines all departments and functions.
- Inclusive Leadership Development: Techniques for cultivating inclusive leadership skills among managers for a top-down approach to cultural change that drives initiatives throughout the organization.
- Adapting to Hybrid Work Environments: Learn how to address DEI challenges in hybrid and remote work settings, ensuring equitable access to resources, opportunities, and inclusive practices in virtual and in-person contexts.
- New Measurement Metrics: Insights into emerging tools and metrics for assessing DEI progress, including holistic measures that go beyond representation to track engagement, retention, and career progression.
