So, you’ve decided it was time to venture out of the house, see some real live humans, and learn something new along the way. What better way to spend a few days than attend the Firstup Attune Digital Employee Experience Summit, taking place October 18-20 at the Palmer House Hilton in Downtown Chicago!

Regardless of company size, industry, or culture, leaders, and communicators know that success comes from people doing their best work. Attune ‘22 brings together the boldest in our industry to explore, teach and learn from each other.

Whether connecting with your peers, networking with our line-up of speakers, or sharing and stealing killer content and strategies relevant to your organization, there are plenty of reasons to attend Attune this year. But just in case you needed more of a nudge, we’ve compiled a list of the Top 5 reasons you need to be at Attune ‘22. Take a look!

#1: Open your mind!

Spend time with individuals at Attune with diverse backgrounds and experiences that will open your mind and challenge you to find new ways of thinking about the science of engagement. Grow personally and professionally by hearing their enlightening stories! Some tips:

  • Take copious notes. There will be a ton of helpful information to remember and bring back to implement at your company!
  • Be open to change. Just because something was done a certain way in the past (maybe even yesterday?) doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the best way to do it. You never know what you may learn from such an exciting group of people!
  • Use your experience to your advantage and connect with someone who can learn from you!

#2: Learn something new

One, two, or ten… there is always a thing or two you can take away from a conference, and Attune won’t disappoint! With speakers, workshops, and panels designed to present relevant information in a fun and engaging way, you’ll have access to insightful content you won’t likely find elsewhere. Think about a few of these reasons to attend:

  • Feeling like your communications are in a rut, and employee engagement isn’t increasing at your company? Learn tips and trips for quickly making a difference once you get back to the office.  
  • Have you considered using digital signage or Microsoft 365 in your day-to-day work? At Attune 22’ you’ll learn about the technology tools driving change.
  • Collaborate with others at the Summit on better ways to communicate with employees.

#3: Make contacts (and friends) that will last a lifetime

Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to network with industry experts and peers and form connections that will endure. Network, exchange ideas, and collaborate all at Attune! While many of us may be strangers now, that doesn’t have to be the case when the conference ends. Some advice on staying connected once we all head home:

  • Wear a name badge with your name clearly written out. Make it easy for everyone to spot you and know your name. 
  • Remember to get business cards and contact information of the people you meet so you can connect later.
  • You never know where you may meet a new client or customer (or coworker), so be open to meeting people who are all interested in the same thing(s) you are. In fact, why not ask a few people you meet to grab dinner or a drink with you to keep the conversation going?

#4: Get inspired and motivated

Whether it’s that one amazing speaker, the fabulous workshop, or that ‘ah-ha’ moment, Attune is sure to help you get inspired. With the knowledge you gain, you’ll be ready to make an impact at your organization. 

  • As communications professionals, you know just how challenging the last couple of years has been. Rev up your love of communication and engagement!
  • If your comms have been stuck in a rut as of late, or you’re lacking the technology you need to do your job effectively, networking with your peers will give you insight into what everyone else is doing. 
  • Our keynote speakers include a superhero, a thinker, and a bestselling author; what more could you ask?

#5: Stay ahead of the curve

Remember when we mentioned networking with industry experts and peers? Find out what’s new in the industry from the thought leaders shaping the future of comms and HR. By attending, you’ll be able to…

  • Join others looking to build the next great digital employee experience. Be in the know on what works and what doesn’t.
  • Meet with your colleagues in between sessions and brainstorm about everything you have learned.
  • Take home new, tangible, and strategic ideas you can implement in your daily work lives.

Are you convinced that as a communication and engagement leader, you should be at Attune ‘22?
