Opening Keynote: Bob Chapman, author of Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family.
Join Bob Chapman envisions a world where work leaves people energized, not exhausted—a world where caring business environments empower individuals to discover their gifts, grow their talents, and feel genuine fulfillment in their contributions. In such a world, meaningful work leads people to return home happier, becoming better partners, parents, neighbors, and friends.
As Chairman and CEO of Barry-Wehmiller—a $3.6 billion global capital equipment firm—Chapman has championed what he calls Truly Human Leadership, a philosophy rooted in respect, empathy, and purpose. He will challenge conventional business wisdom and offer a compelling case for leading with humanity. His hope is that by hearing his story, you’ll join a growing movement to build a society where empathy leads, and where, truly, everybody matters.
The first 100 conference registrants will receive a signed copy of Chapman’s book!
