Your eyes aren’t fooling you—it’s September! And that means we’re only two weeks away from Convergence, our all virtual, global conference bringing together the brightest minds in HR, learning and development. This year’s event will no doubt be unique and unbound, and we’re excited to engage attendees in an entirely new way.
We may not be in the same conference hall this year, but we’ll be together nonetheless—discussing the latest trends in the world of work, learning about the best ways to leverage technology and, of course, networking with analysts, customers and Cornerstone thought leaders.
Get ready now—here are five ways to make the most out of Convergence 2020!
This year’s event will feature not only inspiring keynotes from different personalities and experts—including some of Cornerstone’s own leaders, like CEO Phil Saunders and CMO Heidi Spirgi—but also offer focused tracks, such as the Bold Thinkers and Product Tours, where we’ll share inside looks at hidden gems within our products, discuss adoption and more! We’ll share more recommendations and tips for personalizing your agenda shortly—stay tuned.
And, from customer sessions to product-focused presentations and thoughtful panels, there will be no shortage of content—it’s up to you to chart your course! Head over to www.CornerstoneConvergence.com to create a personalized, custom-built agenda and sign up for the sessions you’re most interested in.
Who doesn’t love a giveaway? Convergence is your chance to score prizes, like a Peloton package, a Canon camera, a Breville espresso machine, or a Le Creuset cooking set, just to name a few. Connect with the Cornerstone community, conference speakers, and thousands of your peers in virtual networking forums and in-session chats and earn points as you engage in conference activities—it’s easy and the prizes are major.
When you’re ready for a break, grab that mat and participate in a yoga or meditation session. Or, head over to our virtual photo booth and say cheese!
Connect directly with other attendees, engage with session speakers, join all the hot conversations and trending topics and build your network. Rub elbows with the industry—from the comfort of your home.
And at the end of day one, participate in the celebrity chef cook-along with Michelin-starred chef, restaurateur, author and culinary entrepreneur Curtis Stone. Chef Curtis is a master when it comes to rolling pasta dough. Whether he’s rolling fettuccine, orecchiette, or cavatelli, his tips and tricks win over the most discerning chefs and cooks. In this demonstration, you’ll learn how to make the best handmade ricotta cavatelli with sage brown butter and parmesan. Once the demonstration is over, you’ll be able to share your newfound pasta skills with your family and friends—or get the whole family involved and cook along together!
