2025 Annual Conference
October 9, 2025 from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM ET at the NC Biotechnology Center
Powering Meaningful Connections: From AI to Gen Z
We invite you to spend the day with colleagues and professionals across the industry to explore and create meaningful connections. Enjoy engaging speaker sessions, creative problem-solving activities, and structured networking!
Organizational Development (OD) continues to define itself as a field, growing and thriving because of the gaps it fills and the opportunities it can provide for organizations and the workforce. Together, as we explore "OD in Action" we will reflect on who we want to be as OD practitioners. We will consider the professional environments, career pathways, leadership approaches, and capability areas (informed by the new Global OD Competency Framework) that shape our work. And we will seek ways to keep people and the culture of work in mind as we become more aware of, and reach for the Future.

Through his work, he has facilitated team restructuring, leadership development, culture transformation, and personal growth for over 15 years.
