How to build a practical, human-first AI suite that boosts productivity, reduces friction, and calms the very real anxieties teams feel about AI.

In this interactive session, Justin and Teresa will break down what actually works in real organizations - moving beyond hype to show how AI can be thoughtfully embedded into everyday workflows. You’ll leave with a clear framework for adopting AI in a way that empowers people, improves efficiency, and keeps trust, clarity, and the human element at the center.

Speaker: Scott Crabtree

Bots & Brains at Work: The Science of Leading in the Age of AI

In this engaging, science-based session, Chief Happiness Officer Scott Crabtree explores what research from neuroscience, psychology, and organizational science tells us about helping people thrive during rapid technological change. This session focuses on the human side of AI: trust, adaptability, psychological safety, and the skills employees and leaders need most in an AI-augmented world.

Scott will focus on teaching how to guide culture, support employees through uncertainty, and build organizations where both people and technology can perform at their best.

Gamifying Change: Crowd-Sourcing Solutions to Real Workplace Challenges

In this fast-paced, interactive session, participants will use a proven, game-based process to tackle real workplace challenges related to change, engagement, and performance. Drawing on research from neuroscience, positive psychology, and the science of motivation, this activity helps groups generate practical, evidence-based solutions—while boosting energy, creativity, and connection.

Participants will:

• Crowd-source practical solutions to real workplace challenges

• Experience a research-based gamification process firsthand

• Boost creativity, connection, and engagement in the room

• Learn a simple facilitation method they can apply immediately

Speaker: Damon Runberg

Oregon’s economy is navigating a complex landscape - marked by a softening labor market, rising trade tensions, sluggish population growth, a challenging business climate, and broader cyclical headwinds in the national economy. However, these challenges don’t tell the whole story. Oregon also benefits from several unique competitive advantages that continue to drive growth and resilience.

Damon will explore both the headwinds and tailwinds shaping Oregon’s economic outlook. He’ll highlight the state’s distinctive strengths and opportunities, while offering a localized perspective on how the Bend-Redmond metro area compares to broader statewide trends.
