JOIN THE PREMIERE CONFERENCE
FOR CULTURE CHAMPIONS


Culture Summit is a cross-functional, cross-industry conference that brings together founders, thought leaders, and culture champions from all over the world to share insights and best practices on building and transforming culture in the workplace.  Our speakers and workshops empower you with the data, strategies, and frameworks you need to drive actual change.  If you are tired of hearing about perks and want to learn how to build strategic initiatives and programs that get results, this is the place for you.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

ACTIONABLE CONTENT

Culture champions all over the world return to Culture Summit for one reason: The Content.

 

We work with all of our speakers to ensure every session is full of useful takeaways and tangible materials you can bring back to work.

 

You’ll leave Culture Summit with your heart full and notebook filled with culture building strategies that you can apply the very next day.

WORLD CLASS WORKSHOPS

Need to get more hands on?  Purchase a three-day ticket and attend our world-class workshops taught by some of the best facilitators in the culture space.

 

Our workshops are all about interaction.  If the idea of sharpies and colorful post-it notes get you up in the morning, then our workshops were made for you.

 

Not only will you work in small intimate groups and meet other culture champions, but you’ll also leave with templates, workbooks, toolkits, and more.

INTERACTIVE COMMUNITY SESSIONS

Unlike other events where you sit in one place all day, Culture Summit has dedicated sessions that help you interact and connect with other culture champions.

 

You’ll have opportunities for structured networking and facilitated group sharing sessions where you can share best practices and learn from each other.

 

Tap into collective wisdome of our community and get help with your culture building initiatives.

WHY ATTEND CULTURE SUMMIT?

Culture isn’t an HR strategy anymore, it’s an everyone strategy.

Culture Summit energized me to keep pushing for inclusive, diverse and open workplace through the killer speaker keynotes and discussions. Culture is so important both to employee engagement and bottom line, I need to be that much more vocal and intentional. Thank you Culture Summit - I’ll be back next year with my peers!

After attending a couple of years, I am beginning to build a small community with people I am meeting at Culture Summit and we're able to stay connected long afterward. It is incredible to find your people all in one place!

The big catch-phrase today is Future of Work. While the term is broad and open to many interpretations, there is truth to the fact that work is changing rapidly. People at all levels of the organization struggle with how to actualize ``future of work`` concepts into reality. XPLANE's Future Practice dives below the surface of the concepts to explore the habits, norms and practices that will bring the Future of Work to life. Future Practice is purposeful, meaningful, engaged, and innovative. Take steps today––through real practice––to move your teams forward. Indeed, the future of work is Future Practice.

Lucia Guillory
Head of People at Virta Health

The average person will spend about ⅓ of their life at work. As People leaders, we often overlook the profound impact we can have on people’s lives through the daily choices we make in reshaping values, programs, and systems. Yet, we can easily amplify our influence by taking three simple steps.

Three key strategies organizations can use to maximize the impact of their people and culture-oriented efforts:

1. Expanding the scope of what falls under People Ops/HR.
2. Building self-reinforcing systems
3. Leveraging data to drive decision making

Lucia’s passionate about creating compelling experiences. Her goal is to harness the varied resources organizations have at their disposal to produce cohesive and engaging experiences that help people do their best work while living their best lives.
